Patent number: 11896787Abstract: A catheter assembly may include a catheter hub and a catheter tube, which may extend distally from the catheter hub. The catheter assembly may include a push tab and one or more ribs extending outwardly from an upper portion of the catheter hub. The ribs may be shorter in height than the push tab and proximal to the push tab. A needle assembly may include a needle hub, an introducer needle extending distally from the needle hub and through the catheter tube, and a grip coupled to the needle hub. The grip may include a face disposed outwardly from the push tab and the ribs. A grip of a user may contact the push tab, the ribs, and the face to reduce rotation between the catheter hub and the needle hub in response to distal advancement of the catheter hub.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Marty Stout, Mohankumar Natesan

Publication number: 20230338725Abstract: Pinch-style clamps can be designed for use in clamping or occluding plastic tubing, such as intravenous tubing. These pinch clamps can include a soft, polymer material applied to various surfaces of the pinch clamp to prevent abrasion or irritation to the patient, increase friction between the pinch clamp and the user operating said pinch clamp, increase friction between engaged surfaces of the pinch clamp to prevent premature or unintended disengagement of the clamp, or increase friction between the outer surfaces of the tubing and the clamping surfaces of the clamp. Various features or components can be employed to prevent lateral disengagement of the pinch clamp. A pinch clamp may also be configured with rounded outer edges to enhance patient comfort.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Bart D. Peterson, Bin Wang, Marty Stout, Olivia Hu, Weston F. Harding, Ralph L. Sonderegger, Kelvin Chai, Lionel Wang

Publication number: 20230088022Abstract: A catheter system may include a catheter assembly and a catheter delivery device. The catheter assembly may include a catheter adapter, which may include a catheter adapter distal end, a catheter adapter proximal end, and a catheter adapter lumen extending through the catheter adapter distal end and the catheter adapter proximal end. The catheter assembly may include a primary catheter extending from the catheter adapter distal end. The catheter delivery device may include a housing, which may include a housing distal end coupled to the catheter assembly, a housing proximal end, and a housing lumen extending through the housing distal end and the housing proximal end. A secondary catheter may be disposed within the housing. The secondary catheter may be configured to move distally through the catheter assembly in response to a fluid pressure provided by a fluid delivery device coupled to the housing proximal end.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Jeffrey C. O'Bryan, Daniel Blanchard, Daniel Housley, Marty Stout, Eric Lindekugel

Publication number: 20220080159Abstract: A catheter system may include a catheter hub, a septum disposed within the catheter hub, a catheter tube extending from the catheter hub, a needle hub, and an introducer needle secured within the needle hub. The catheter hub may include a push tab and one or more ribs, which may extend outwardly from an upper surface of the catheter hub. The ribs may be shorter in height than the push tab and/or may be generally parallel to the push tab. The introducer needle may include a flashback notch. In response to insertion of the introducer needle into vasculature, blood may flow into the introducer needle, through the flashback notch, and into a flashback chamber disposed between the septum and the catheter tube. The flashback chamber may be disposed distal to the push tab and the ribs, which may improve visualization of the flashback chamber by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Michael Garrison, Bart D. Peterson, Ralph L. Sonderegger, Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Thomas Solosko, Stephen T. Bornhoft, Marty Stout, Carl Ellis

Publication number: 20210386975Abstract: A needle protection device may include a hub, a housing disposed within the lumen of the hub, and a needle. The housing may include a tubular portion, which may include two arms coupled thereto. Each of the arms may include a first end coupled to the tubular portion, a second end disposed within the tubular portion, and a bent portion therebetween. The second end of the first arm and the second end of the second arm may form a duckbill valve. A needle may extend through the housing. Withdrawing a sharp distal tip of the needle in a proximal direction beyond the second end of each of the arms may close the duckbill valve and facilitate removal of the housing from the hub. Shielding the sharp distal tip of the needle in this manner may prevent blood spatter and exposure to blood and blood-borne pathogens.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: S.
