INTRAVENOUS THERAPY SYSTEM FOR BLOOD VESSEL ACCESS VIA A CURVED NEEDLE AND CURVED CATHETER

Abstract:

An intravenous therapy system may include a curved needle; and a curved catheter formed around the outside surface of the curved needle; wherein, upon insertion of a first length of the curved needle and curved catheter into a patient's body, a curvature angle of the curved needle and curved catheter causes the curved needle and curved catheter to intersect axially with a blood vessel in the patient's body.
