Over-The-Needle Intravenous Catheter Assembly With Integrated Intravenous Tubing

US Patent:
8622967, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
May 15, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/471701
Inventors:
Bryan G. Davis - Sandy UT, US
Bart D. Peterson - Farmington UT, US
Bryan Fred Bihlmaier - Provo UT, US
Assignee:
Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ
International Classification:
A61M 5/178
US Classification:
60416401, 60416412, 60416702, 604537
Abstract:
An intravenous catheter device is provided which includes a catheter adapter having a fluid chamber, a needle adapter being slidably positioned within the fluid chamber, the needle adapter supporting a base of an introducer needle and a terminal end of a section of intravenous tubing such that a fluid pathway of the introducer needle is in fluid communication with a fluid pathway of the section of intravenous tubing. Following catheterization, the needle adapter is slid to a preferred proximal position whereby a sharpened tip of the introducer needle is shielded within a catheter of the intravenous catheter device, or a portion of the fluid chamber of the catheter adapter. When in the preferred proximal position, fluid communication between the catheter and a section of intravenous tubing is facilitated via the hollow body of the introducer needle.

International Classification:
A61M 25/00
US Classification:
604523
Abstract:
A catheter having a catheter body with a lumen and a distal lumen opening. The catheter's lumen extends through the catheter body along a longitudinal axis of the catheter body. A hole is formed through a wall of a distal portion of the catheter body. A portion of the proximal surface of the hole is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the catheter body. The acute angle of the proximal hole surface opens proximally with respect to the catheter body.
