Abstract
Catheter devices can have bendable extension legs. The extension legs may be designed to include armature wire that enables the extension legs to be bent into and to retain a variety of orientations. As a result, a clinician can easily position the luers of the extension legs into positions that are suitable for a particular patient and/or the clinician.
