A valved catheter assembly is designed to be used to minimize patient discomfort and to prevent infection at an entry site. The valved catheter assembly includes a hub including a slit valve disposed therein and distal tubing extending in a distal direction from the hub when the valved catheter assembly is inserted into a body of a patient. The valved catheter assembly is free of proximal tubing extending in a proximal direction from the hub.
