Multi-Lumen Vascular Access Device and Related Methods

A vascular access device, comprising:

• a first lumen, comprising a distal end and a proximal end;
• a second lumen, comprising a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end of the second lumen is proximal to the distal end of the first lumen;
• a third lumen, comprising a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end of the second lumen is proximal to the distal end of the first lumen and the distal end of the third lumen;
• a first connector disposed at the proximal end of the first lumen;
• a second connector disposed at the proximal end of the second lumen;
• a third connector disposed at the proximal end of the third lumen
• a catheter adapter comprising a distal end and a proximal end;
• and
• a catheter extending distally from the catheter adapter, the catheter comprising a distal end and a proximal end and defining at least a portion of the first lumen, a portion of the second lumen, and a portion of the third lumen;
• wherein the catheter includes one or more openings or valves formed adjacent to the distal end of the second lumen and in fluid communication with the second lumen.
