Multiple use stretching and non-penetrating blood control valves

摘要

The current application relates to infusion devices, specifically to peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters (14). In particular, the application relates to peripheral IV catheter assemblies having features to enable selective and reversible activation of fluid flow through the catheter assembly. Some implementations include various configurations of septum (50) valves having a barrier surface (52) that is stressed to bias the barrier surface and provide a pathway through the septum valve.
