A UW-Madison surgeon has developed a wire organizer to secure guide wires and catheters during procedures. One embodiment of the organizer is in the form of a plastic disk with features allowing for easy insertion of coiled guide wires and catheters through a side cutout. The secured wire can be pulled out of the disk by holding and pulling the entire coiled wire, or by simply pulling the end of the wire while the rest of the wire is still secured inside the holder.
