Venipuncture device

摘要

An improved venipuncture device comprises a catheter having a catheter hub at one end, with a needle having a needle hub at one end and a sharpened tip at the second end extending through the catheter and catheter hub. The needle is adapted for insertion and removal from the catheter. A fin extends substantially vertically from the needle hub and is constructed and arranged for gripping the device in a manner which facilitates venipuncture.
