Safety syringes have a safety mechanism built into the syringe. The needle on a safety syringe can be detachable or permanently attached. On some models, a sheath is placed over the needle or the needle retracts into the barrel following injection to protect healthcare workers and others from accidental needlestick injuries.

Needle assemblies and safety catheter assemblies with blood diverting feature

A fluid or blood diverter is provided in the needle housing of a needle assembly for redirecting the inflowing blood to a distal section of the fluid diverter that may be enclosed by the distal portion of the needle housing so that a clinician can readily view the blood flash without having to look back to the flashback chamber at the proximal portion of the needle housing. At the distal section, the inflowing blood is redirected to the flashback chamber. The needle housing with the blood diverter is adapted to be used in safety catheter needle assemblies that may include a passive needle safety control mechanism including a clip guard. Different ways of coupling the needle housing and the clip guard with catheter hub assemblies with and without passive blood control are also described.

Splittable needle for catheter placement system

Advanced catheter placement systems require disengaging a needle from the guidewire without disturbing a position of the guidewire within the vasculature. Embodiments include withdrawing the needle proximally and drawing the needle over a splitter system that includes a splitter wedge. The splitter system separates the needle along a longitudinal axis. A portion of the guidewire can then pass between a first portion and a second portion of the needle, allowing the needle to disengage the guidewire. A catheter disposed on a proximal portion of the guidewire can then be advanced thereover into the vasculature. A needle safety system can adhere a puncture-resistant adhesive tape to the split portions of the needle. The tape can encapsulate the portions of the needle mitigating any damage or trauma caused by sharpened edges of the needle portions.
