Instrument Advancement Device with Light-Enabled Instrument Viewing

A catheter system, comprising:

• an intravenous catheter assembly comprising:
• a catheter comprising a distal end and a proximal end, the catheter defining a lumen extending between the distal end and the proximal end;
• and
• an access connector configured to provide access to the lumen of the catheter;
• and
• an instrument delivery device coupleable to the access connector, the instrument delivery device comprising:
• a housing having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the housing defining an inner volume;
• an instrument movably received within the inner volume;
• a coupling device positioned at the distal end portion of the housing and configured to couple the housing to an access connector of an intravenous catheter assembly;
• an advancement member configured to move relative to the housing to advance a distal end of the instrument beyond the distal end portion of the housing and into the intravenous catheter assembly;
• and
• a light generating element disposed at least partially within the housing and configured to generate light that enables visualization of the instrument.
