Abstract:
A dividing element for a split-tip catheter. The dividing element has a body that may contain openings for disposition on a tip section of a split-tip catheter. The openings are spaced apart by a distance sufficient to ensure separation between tip sections when the body is positioned thereon and may be configured to provide a tension to prevent relative movement of the tip section(s) with respect to the dividing element. The dividing element may be configured for attachment to a packaging tray and/or may contain weakened sections to facilitate detachment from the catheter.
