Abstract: A catheter assembly including a coaxial catheter and insert, and method of making. The catheter assembly includes a coaxial catheter, an insert, and a hub. The coaxial catheter includes an inner lumen and an outer lumen. The insert includes first and second passageways, the first passageway defined from a first opening on a distal end of the insert to a second opening on a proximal end of the insert, the second passageway branching from the first passageway to a third opening. A portion of the insert distal end is received in a proximal opening of the outer lumen, and a proximal section of the inner lumen extends through the first passageway. The hub is molded over the insert and a proximal section of the outer lumen.

Abstract: A bifurcation insert for a coaxial catheter and a catheter assembly incorporating the bifurcation insert. The bifurcation insert contains an opening at a distal end and two openings in a proximal end, the distal end being configured for positioning within a proximal end of an outer lumen of the coaxial catheter. At the proximal end of the bifurcation insert, an arterial side is configured to receive a first extension tube, while a venous side is configured to receive a second extension tube. The catheter assembly incorporating the bifurcation insert includes a hub that is molded around the insert and properly positioned extension tubes and coaxial catheter such that each component is set into place with respect to one another.
