Low profile catheter system

A low profile catheter system comprising:

• a monolithically formed catheter hub having a proximal portion, a receiving element at a proximal end of the catheter hub, a distal body having a first end and a second end, a stabilization surface located on an underside of the catheter hub and a receptacle located within a top surface of the catheter hub, the stabilization surface configured to stabilize the catheter hub on a patient, the catheter hub also having a substantially linear flow path extending from an opening within the first end of the distal body to an inlet located within the second end of the distal body, the flow path configured to allow fluid to flow between the first end and the second end of the distal body, the inlet of the flow path located between the proximal portion and the distal body of the catheter hub;
• and
• a base connector having a fluid path extending through at least a portion of the base connector and between a first opening located nearer a first end of the base connector and a second opening, the fluid path being fluidly connected to the inlet of the flow path in the catheter hub, a proximal end of the base connector contacting the receiving element such that the receiving element retains the base connector within the receptacle of the catheter hub when the base connector is received by the receptacle.
