ANTI-ROTATION CATHETER DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

Abstract:

A catheter assembly may include a catheter hub and a catheter tube, which may extend distally from the catheter hub. The catheter assembly may include a push tab and one or more ribs extending outwardly from an upper portion of the catheter hub. The ribs may be shorter in height than the push tab and proximal to the push tab. A needle assembly may include a needle hub, an introducer needle extending distally from the needle hub and through the catheter tube, and a grip coupled to the needle hub. The grip may include a face disposed outwardly from the push tab and the ribs. A grip of a user may contact the push tab, the ribs, and the face to reduce rotation between the catheter hub and the needle hub in response to distal advancement of the catheter hub.
