A gripping surface is provided on an outer surface of a needle shield as incorporated into an intravenous catheter assembly. The gripping surface provides a gripping position nearer the catheter adapter, catheter and needle tip for improved balance and control of the catheter assembly during insertion of the catheter. Additionally, the gripping surfaces include a guard feature to prevent a user's unintended contact with various components of the catheter assembly whereby the contact may result in an undesirable "over the bevel" condition.

The current application relates to infusion devices, specifically to peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters (14). In particular, the application relates to peripheral IV catheter assemblies having features to enable selective and reversible activation of fluid flow through the catheter assembly. Some implementations include various configurations of septum (50) valves having a barrier surface (52) that is stressed to bias the barrier surface and provide a pathway through the septum valve.
