INTEGRATED CATHETER WITH INDEPENDENT FLUID PATHS

摘要

Catheter systems comprising independent fluid paths are disclosed. The catheter systems can include a catheter adapter that has a catheter hub with a chamber. A catheter extends from a distal end of the catheter hub and is in fluid communication with the chamber. A stabilization platform with a first wing and a soft push tab are also part of the catheter hub. The catheter system includes a needle hub with a needle that slidably fits within the catheter. In an insertion configuration, a proximal extension of the catheter hub is removably coupled within a distal opening of the needle hub. After the catheter is placed, the needle hub is retracted from the catheter adapter to slidably remove the needle from the catheter.

1. A catheter system comprising:
a catheter adapter comprising:
a catheter hub comprising a distal end and a proximal end and defining a chamber extending between the distal end and the proximal end;a catheter extending from the distal end of the catheter hub and in fluid communication with the chamber;a stabilization platform; and a needle hub comprising:
a needle configured to slidably fit within the catheter;a needle hub body anchored to a proximal end of the needle, wherein in an insertion configuration, the proximal end of the catheter hub is removably coupled within a distal. opening of the needle hub, and wherein after placement of the catheter, the needle hub is retracted from the catheter adapter to slidably remove the needle from the catheter and to separate the needle hub from the catheter adapter.
