    Abstract: A safety catheter assembly that may be a closed system catheter (CSC) has a seal member proximal a septum in the catheter hub. In a first embodiment, the seal member may be a cylindrical sleeve whereto a locking portion of a needle clip is positioned to fixedly hold the needle clip inside the catheter hub in a ready state. In a second embodiment, the needle clip is housed in a substantially cylindrical seal member. The seal member with the needle clip therein and the catheter hub are fixedly coupled together in the ready state. In a third embodiment, a retainer member at the catheter hub couples the needle clip to the catheter hub in the ready state and the seal member is distal the retainer member. In all the embodiments, the seal member may act as a reservoir for fluid in the interior cavity of the catheter hub that may back flow past the septum.

    Abstract: A catheter system may include a catheter adapter, which may include a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen. The catheter system may include one or more of the following: a catheter tube extending distally from the distal end of the catheter adapter; a needle hub; an introducer needle extending from the needle hub and distally through the catheter tube, wherein the introducer needle comprises a sharp distal tip; a needle cover surrounding the catheter tube and the sharp distal tip; a swab holder coupled to a distal end of the needle cover; and a swab secured within the swab holder and containing a disinfectant. an end cap proximal to the catheter adapter. The catheter system may include an end cap proximal to the catheter adapter, and the swab holder may be coupled to a swab holder coupled to a proximal end of the end cap.

    Abstract: A catheter insertion device that allows for single-handed insertion of the catheter within the vasculature of the patient is disclosed. The catheter insertion device includes a handle, a needle cannula partially within the handle, a guidewire partially within the handle and the needle cannula, and a first actuator connected to the handle and the guidewire. The guidewire is movable relative to the handle in a distal direction away from the handle, and in a proximal direction towards the handle. A catheter assembly is removably coupled to the handle and is configured to slide on the needle cannula. A catheter hub may be connected to a proximal end of the catheter, and a catheter advancer base may be releasably connected to the catheter hub. The catheter insertion device may also include a needle support pivotally connected to the handle for supporting the needle cannula on a cantilever portion thereof.

    Abstract: A catheter system may include a needle assembly coupled to a catheter adapter. The needle assembly may include a housing, an introducer needle, a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a needle tip shield feature. A distal tip of the introducer needle may be configured to be proximally withdrawn from a first position to a second position in which a bump feature of the introducer needle contacts and is prevented from moving through the proximal opening. In response to withdrawal of the distal tip proximally from the second position to a third position, the housing may move proximally, and the needle tip shield feature may be released to block the distal opening. The needle tip shield feature may not contact the introducer needle when the distal tip moves proximally from the first position to the second position and from the second position to the third position.
