Abstract: Peripheral intravenous catheter assemblies with capabilities for both blood sampling and catheterization can have a blood collection holder with a needle hub attached to a catheter hub. The combination catheter assembly and blood sampling holder can be called a catheter and holder assembly. Blood sampling can be done directly through the needle and the blood collection holder after cannulation. After blood sampling, the blood collection holder and the needle can be removed, leaving the catheter hub with the patient for IV infusion. The catheter hub can be a straight catheter hub or can include a side fluid port for use in as an integrated IVC.

Abstract: Catheter devices with a tube management system are described. The catheter devices can have a catheter hub, a port extending from the catheter hub, a needle hub, a septum for controlling fluid flow from the port to a distal opening of the catheter hub, and a flexible tubing extending from the port. A tube deflector at the port guides the flexible tubing from a closed position to an open position. Tube securing mechanisms formed on the catheter hub also guides the flexible tubing from the closed position to the open position. A needle guard is usable with the needle device to block a tip of the needle.

Abstract: The safety needle assembly comprises a housing including a proximal end and a distal end and defining an interior space. A barrel is rotatably received within the interior space of the housing. A needle hub is received within the proximal end of the housing. A needle, including a sharp distal tip, extends distally from the needle hub, through the barrel, and through the distal end of the housing. A safety shield defining a lumen is received within the interior space of the housing. The safety shield extends distally from the housing through the distal end of the housing. The needle extends through the lumen of the safety shield with the sharp distal tip exposed from the safety shield. A biasing member is received within the barrel and extends between the needle hub and the safety shield.

Abstract: Blood collection assemblies with safety features are disclosed. The assemblies have a housing for receiving a vacutainer, which has a septum that penetrates a sharp needle tip. The disclosed assemblies further have a shield for covering the other end of the needle following use to prevent accidental contact with the distal needle tip. The shield is spring loaded so that the spring force moves the shield over the needle. The shield can be secured or held in an initial position and allowed to move to cover the needle upon actuation or activation of an activator unit.

Abstract: A safety needle blood sampling device (100) is provided with a needle (108) having a multi-sampling Luer adaptor (MSLA) mounted over an end thereof. A housing (110) sized and shaped to receive a blood sampling vial is provided so that when a vacutainer is inserted, the MSLA is compressed to puncture the septum with one of the ends of the needle. A protective shield (104) is provided to cover the needle. A helical spring (106) is provided to move the protective shield over the needle in a used position. An activator (112) is further provided that is sized and shaped to activate the shield upon insertion of the vacutainer.

Abstract: Catheter securement devices are generally described for securing the catheter hub to the access site following successful catheterization. Examples of catheter assemblies with integrated securing mechanisms and related methods are disclosed. The integrated device provides convenience and easy to use access to securing devices that are integrated to the wings of the catheter assemblies.
