Vascular Access Device and Related Systems and Methods

A vascular access device, comprising:

• a housing, comprising a proximal end, a distal end, a slot, and an advancement tab configured to move linearly along the slot between a retracted position and an advanced position, wherein the distal end of the housing comprises a coupler element to couple to a catheter assembly;
• an instrument disposed within the housing, the instrument comprising a proximal end and a distal tip, wherein the proximal end of the instrument is coupled to the advancement tab, wherein in response to movement of the advancement tab from the retracted position to the advanced position, the distal tip of the instrument is advanced beyond the distal end of the housing;
• and
• a stop feature configured to resist movement of the advancement tab relative to the slot.
