Abstract
An insertion assembly and method of manufacturing an insertion assembly. The method includes forming a catheter assembly including a catheter hub and a catheter, inserting a needle into the catheter assembly such that a distal tip of the needle extends distal of a distal end of the catheter, and permanently adhering an interface pad to the catheter hub. The interface pad can include a foam material including a haemostatic agent. The haemostatic agent can include microdispersed oxidized cellulose. The foam material can further include an antimicrobial agent such as chlorhexidine gluconate.
