Problems solved by technology

Placement of needles and catheters in veins can be difficult for clinicians
In some cases, the clinician may make multiple attempts to locate the vein, and possibly multiple needle sticks, which can physically injure the patient and increase patient anxiety

Embodiment Construction

[0018] As used in this disclosure, the term "distal" refers to the portion of the intravenous treatment system that is further away from the user, and the term "proximal" refers to the portion of the intravenous treatment system that is closer to the user. Thus, for example, the end of the catheter that first touches the patient's body is the distal end of the catheter, while the opposite end of the catheter is the proximal end of the catheter. As used in this disclosure, the term "user" may refer to a clinician, doctor, nurse, or any other care provider, and may include support personnel.

[0019] As used herein, the terms "top", "upper" or "upward" refer to a location on the needle of the intravenous therapy system that, during use, is radially away from the longitudinal axis of the intravenous therapy system and away from the patient's skin. In contrast, as used herein, the terms "bottom," "lower," or "downwardly" refer to a location on the needle of the intravenous therap...

Abstract

An intravenous (IV) therapy system to facilitate the insertion of a catheter or another suitable IV device into a patient may include a band made of flexible material to be secured around a limb of a patient. The IV therapy system may include a window formed through the band to provide access to the patient's body. The IV therapy system may include a tourniquet formed within the band to selectively apply a pressure against the patient's body. The IV therapy system may include a blood vessel indicator to indicate where the catheter or other suitable IV device is to be inserted.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present disclosure relates to medical devices. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to catheters for infusing fluids into a patient's vasculature. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to intravenous therapy systems and methods of making the same. In other embodiments, the present disclosure relates to intravenous placement devices. Background technique [0002] Catheters are often used to infuse fluids into a patient's vasculature. For example, catheters can be used for the infusion of physiological saline solutions, various drugs, or total parenteral nutrition. Catheters can also be used to draw blood from a patient. [0003] The catheter may comprise a trocar peripheral intravenous ("IV") catheter. In this case, the catheter can be mounted on an introducer needle with a sharp distal tip. The catheter and introducer needle can be assembled such that the distal tip of the introducer needle extends beyon...
