    Abstract: An intravenous delivery system may have a liquid source containing a liquid, tubing, and an anti-run-dry membrane positioned such that the liquid, flowing form the liquid source to the tubing, passes through the anti-run-dry membrane. The anti-run-dry membrane may have a plurality of pores through which the liquid flows, and may be formed of a hydrophilic material that resists passage of air through the pores. The intravenous delivery system may further have a bubble point raising component that raises the bubble point of the anti-run-dry membrane. The bubble point raising component may, in some embodiments, be a high surface energy coating or additive.

    Abstract: A catheter adapter including a housing and an extension portion extending from the distal end of the housing and defining a passageway configured to receive a catheter. The first material of the housing is more flexible than the second material of the extension portion. The catheter adapter may further include a body contact portion comprising an upper surface corresponding to a surface of the housing and a lower surface defining an outer surface of the catheter adapter. The housing may include a body, an access port extending from the body, and a plurality of protrusions extending from the body and/or the access port. The body contact portion covers at least a portion of the housing, and the protrusions are embedded in and are completely surrounded by the body contact portion. The catheter adapter may further include a connection portion connecting the extension portion to the body contact portion.

    Abstract: A catheter assembly and/or an introducer may include one or more features configured to guide a probe and/or a catheter distally through a septum. The catheter assembly may include a catheter adapter and the septum. The catheter adapter may include a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending therebetween. In some embodiments, the septum may be disposed within the lumen. The septum may include a proximal surface that is tapered inwardly in a distal direction such that the proximal surface of the septum is configured to guide the probe and/or the catheter distally through the septum. The catheter assembly may be configured to receive an introducer, which may include an introducer element. A proximal end of the introducer element may include another proximal surface that is tapered inwardly in the distal direction such that the other proximal surface is configured to guide the probe or the catheter distally through the septum.

    Abstract: An intravenous delivery system may have a liquid source containing a liquid, tubing, and a vent cap. The tubing may be connected to the liquid source and the vent cap to convey liquid from the liquid source to the vent cap. The vent cap may have a vent that is substantially impermeable to the liquid and permeable to air, and therefore releases air from the liquid from the vent cap. The vent cap may also have a chamber in communication with the vent. The chamber may have a volume selected to enable the chamber to receive a quantity of liquid from the tubing in which the air, if entrained in the liquid, is likely to reside after the tubing has been primed with the liquid.

    Abstract: An instrument advancement device includes an access connector configured to be connected to a vascular access device, a primary lumen in fluid communication with the access connector, an instrument received within the primary lumen and having a retracted position and an extended position, an advancement member configured to move the instrument between the retracted position and the extended position, and a lumen seal received within the primary lumen and connected to the instrument. The lumen seal defines a space between the lumen seal and the primary lumen when the instrument is in the retracted portion. The lumen seal engages the primary lumen when the instrument is in the advanced position.
