Abstract
A catheter assembly (10) comprises a catheter (20), a needle (22) having a sharp distal tip and disposed within the catheter (20), a catheter hub (30) connected to the catheter (20) having the needle (22) passing therethrough, and a housing (70) that encloses the sharp distal tip of the needle (22). An external surface of the catheter hub (30) and an internal surface of the housing (70) each include at least one of a channel member (34) and a raised portion (72) that interfit to restrict motion between the catheter hub (30) and the housing (70).
Claims22
A catheter assembly comprising:
- a catheter;
- a needle having a sharp distal tip and disposed within the catheter;
- a catheter hub connected to the catheter having the needle passing therethrough;
- and
- a housing attachable to the catheter hub, wherein
- an external surface of the catheter hub and an internal surface of the housing each include at least one of a channel member and a raised portion that interfit to restrict motion between the catheter hub and the housing.
A catheter assembly comprising:
- a catheter;
- a needle having a sharp distal tip disposed within the catheter;
- a catheter hub connected to the catheter having the needle passing therethrough, the catheter hub including:
- a valve that selectively permits or blocks a flow of fluid through the catheter;
- and
- a valve actuator that moves between a first position and a second position;
- and
- a housing attachable to the catheter hub, wherein
- an external surface of the catheter hub and an internal surface of the housing each include one or more of a channel member and an raised portion that interfit to limit movement between the catheter hub and the housing.
