US Patent 12076509 Integrated catheter with independent fluid paths

Catheter systems comprising independent fluid paths are disclosed. The catheter systems can include a catheter adapter that has a catheter hub with a chamber. A catheter extends from a distal end of the catheter hub and is in fluid communication with the chamber. A stabilization platform with a first wing and a soft push tab are also part of the catheter hub. The catheter system includes a needle hub with a needle that slidably fits within the catheter. In an insertion configuration, a proximal extension of the catheter hub is removably coupled within a distal opening of the needle hub. After the catheter is placed, the needle hub is retracted from the catheter adapter to slidably remove the needle from the catheter.
