NEEDLE HUB ASSEMBLY

摘要

A needle hub (112) is disclosed which includes a needle support (114) having a wall that defines a needle cavity (118). The wall further defines at least one wall cavity that facilitates fluid communication with the needle cavity. A needle cannula (120) may be disposed within the needle cavity and in fluid communication therewith. The wall may define a plurality of wall cavities. The cavities may include a pair of diametrically opposed wall cavities. At least one wall cavity can be formed in a proximal face of the wall. The proximal face may be transversely oriented relative to a longitudinal axis defined by the needle support. The at least one wall cavity includes a radial slot formed adjacent a proximal end of the needle support.
