Abstract
A midline catheter is provided. The midline catheter includes a shaft defining a lumen, the shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end includes two or more opposing notches thereon, each of the notches having an open notch distal end and an opposing notch proximal end formed as an arch. The catheter may also include written indicia thereon to indicate that it is a midline catheter and/or is power injectable or non-power-injectable.

A midline catheter comprising:
- a shaft defining a lumen, said shaft having a distal end and a proximal end wherein said distal end includes two or more opposing notches thereon, each of said notches having an open notch distal end and an opposing notch proximal end formed as an arch;
- wherein an interior of the shaft is undivided between the proximal end of the shaft and the proximal end of each of the two or more opposing notches;
- wherein said distal end includes a radiused edge circumferentially disposed thereon;
- wherein said catheter further includes a luer and a hub coupled to the proximal end and wherein an indicia is printed on the luer, the hub, the shaft, or combinations of the foregoing.
