  • Patent number: 9199062
    Abstract: An inserter assembly for a peripheral catheter assembly configured with an adhesive plaster member, wherein the catheter tube extends through the plaster member. The inserter assembly includes a first inserter part having first and second legs, a bridge member connecting the first and second legs at a distance from each other, with the bridge member adapted for detachably engaging or holding at least a part of the needle module extending coaxially between the first and second legs. The inserter assembly includes a second inserter part for covering the needle. The plaster member impairs visual sight and the line of vision to the needle tip during puncture may be impaired. To prevent this the first inserter part serves for holding a back-folded part of the plaster member.

  • Patent number: 8622972
    Abstract: A peripheral catheter assembly having a hollow catheter hub, a female proximal end, a distal end provided with a catheter tube, at least one infusion port located between the distal and proximal ends, a hollow needle module that includes a needle held by a male socket arranged to sealingly engage the female proximal end, and a sealing member engaged inside the catheter hub which serves for facilitating venipuncture without unintended splashing of blood. A sealing valve that includes a septum seal having a weakened portion surrounded by deflectable septum walls, and a hollow tubular extension which protrudes towards a free end from the periphery of the septum seal and extends inside the catheter hub past the infusion port towards the distal end of the catheter hub provide a self-closable sealing member which provide the physician the freedom to leave the patient when the needle module is retracted.
