Catheter placement assembly

摘要: A disposable assembly and associated method for placing a catheter tube or plastic cannula into the body of patient, being initially disposed in sterile package comprising hollow cannulated needle sharpened at one end connector form hub trailing thereof, joined to an elongated semi-rigid sheath having longitudinal slit along location. The flexible radiopaque silicone rubber, is within with leading thereof resting needle. stylet telescopically rests entire length exception tip such dimension as stiffen concentrically cannula. An inserter mechanism laterally projecting handle connected that extends through exposed manual manipulation. slitted plugged and/or capped maintain sterility. In use, once has been removed from venipuncture accomplished, concurrently advanced vein manipulation handle, so preserve sterilizing following which retained and, remainder placement other than retracted rearwardly entirely discarded. relationship between precludes reverse displacement during insertion thereby obviating any possibility shearing vein. Thereafter, suitable plug receiving female adapter retrieved affixed accommodate fluid flow cannula, usually syringe infusion system.
