Catheter assembly with valve opener for needle insertion
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883614B2) discloses a catheter assembly comprising a catheter tube, a needle with a sharp distal tip, a septum actuator, and a safety clip. The safety clip, with flexible arms, engages the needle in a first position and encloses the distal tip in a second position, preventing removal of the clip in the first position and allowing removal in the second position. The design ensures secure needle handling and patient safety during medical procedures.
Furthermore, the catheter assembly includes features such as a deformation in the needle enclosed by the safety clip, a catheter hub with a mating portion for engaging a Luer device, and a septum actuator with openings for fluid flow. The assembly also incorporates a retention feature for the septum actuator and mechanisms for manual needle movement and actuator engagement. These elements work together to provide a reliable and efficient catheter system for medical professionals, enhancing the overall safety and functionality of the device during use.
