Abstract

The invention relates to valved catheter assemblies and related methods. The valved catheter assemblies described herein provide several advantages, including low cracking pressure for fluid infusion, greater cracking pressure for fluid aspiration, and reduction or elimination of dead space. In some embodiments, a valve of the catheter assembly has a conical shape, which provides different cracking pressures for infusion and aspiration. Also in some embodiments, a valve of the catheter assembly may include peripheral slits that enable fluid to flow around the perimeter of the valve during infusion, which helps to flush out fluid from around the valve.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to aspiration / infusion devices, such as intravenous ("IV") catheters. More particularly, the present invention relates to flushable peripheral intravenous catheter assemblies having features capable of selectively activating fluid flow through the catheter assembly. Background technique [0002] Catheters are commonly used to infuse fluids into a patient's vasculature, such as saline, various medications, and total parenteral nutrition. Catheters are also commonly used to draw blood from a patient, or to monitor various parameters of a patient's vasculature. [0003] The catheter and / or needle are typically coupled to a catheter adapter, also known as a catheter hub, to enable the attachment of IV tubing to the catheter. Thus, after the catheter or needle is placed in the patient's vasculature, the catheter adapter is coupled to the fluid source through a length of IV tubing. To confirm proper placement of the needle an...
