Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a flushing device having simple operation and one-handed control. The flushing device utilizes a plunger for expelling a flushing medium from the barrel of the flushing device configured such that the user can actuate the plunger easily with the user's palm and/or with other portions of the user's hand. The flushing device includes a receiving tip which has a distal end and a proximal end, the inner diameter of the distal end of the receiving tip being larger than the inner diameter of the proximal end of the receiving tip. The receiving tip is non-opaque (i.e. clear, translucent) to allow the user to view insertion of the catheter tip. The flushing device includes one or more finger grips positioned distally from a middle portion of the barrel.
