1. A guidewire retraction device, comprising:
a first support structure located opposite a second support structure, said first support structure having a first end located opposite a second end, said first support structure having a primary bore, said primary bore of said first support structure is configured to be removably connected to a proximal portion of a tubing structure, said primary bore of said first support structure traversing a length of said first support structure from said first end of said first support structure to said second end of said first support structure, said first support structure having a first opening bordering a first ramp, said first ramp of said first support structure is connected to said primary bore of said first support structure;
said second support structure having a secondary bore, said secondary bore of said second support structure traversing a length of said second support structure from a first end of said second support structure to a second end of said second support structure, said second support structure having a second opening bordering a second ramp, said second ramp of said second support structure is connected to said secondary bore of said second support structure;
said first ramp of said first support structure and said second ramp of said second support structure are configured to receive a guidewire;
a rotation element, said rotation element having a shaft, said rotation element having a recess, said recess traverses a circumference of said rotation element, said recess of said rotation element is configured to retain at least a portion of said guidewire when said guidewire is retained within said primary bore of said first support structure and said secondary bore of said second support structure, said rotation element is configured to be rotated in a first direction to orient said guidewire in a retracted orientation, said rotation element is configured to be rotated in a second direction to orient said guidewire in an advanced orientation, said recess of said rotation element is oriented in an elevated position in relation to said primary bore of said first support structure and said secondary bore of said second support structure;
said primary bore of said first support structure has a first portion being tapered, said first portion of said primary bore has a first end having a first diameter located opposite a second end having a second diameter, said first diameter of said first end of said first portion of said primary bore being greater in size than said second diameter of said second end of said first portion of said primary bore, said first end of said first portion of said primary bore is located on said first end of said first support structure, said second end of said first portion of said primary bore is connected to a second portion, an entire length of said second portion of said primary bore has a third diameter that is smaller in size than said second diameter of said second end of said first portion of said primary bore, said second portion of said primary bore is connected to a third portion, said third portion of said primary bore is tapered, said third portion of said primary bore has a first end having a fourth diameter located opposite a second end having a fifth diameter, said fourth diameter of said first end of said third portion of said primary bore being smaller in size than said fifth diameter of said second end of said third portion of said primary bore, said second end of said third portion of said primary bore is located on said second end of said first support structure; and
a first shaft support structure oriented parallel to a second shaft support structure, said shaft of said rotation element is connected to said first support structure and said second support structure.
