Publication number: 20240001084Abstract: A catheter insertion system includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis. A needle extends distally from a distal end of the housing. The needle has a longitudinal passage coaxially aligned with the housing. A catheter has a length and is sized and shaped to be advanced from a retracted position within the longitudinal passage of the needle to an extended position with at least a portion of the catheter length extending beyond a distal tip of the needle. The needle is typically configured to be retracted back into the housing after the catheter has been advanced thus providing an integrated catheter and catheter insertion apparatus. After needle retraction, the housing may be taped to the patient's skin while the needle remains protected within the housing. A luer on the catheter may then be connected to a fluid or other source in an otherwise conventional manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: SkyDance Vascular, Inc.Inventors: John Kujawa, Michael Anstett, William Bold

Publication number: 20190076628Abstract: A splittable catheter insertion device includes a splittable housing that includes a body, a splitting seam extending along a longitudinal length of the body, a needle receiving, a pair of splitting grips extending outward from opposite lateral sides of the body, a channel formed within the body and extending along a portion of the longitudinal length of the body. The splittable catheter insertion device further includes a splittable needle secured to the needle receiving portion of the body, a pair of rails disposed within the channel and on opposite sides of the channel and extending in a direction parallel to the longitudinal length of the body, an advancer portion disposed within the channel, between the pair of rails, and configured to slide along the pair of rails, and a catheter predisposed within the splittable housing, attached to the advancer portion, and sized and shaped to slide through the splittable needle. Related methods are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2019Inventor: Michael Anstett
