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.

Anti-run dry membrane

A catheter assembly comprises a catheter (), a needle () having a sharp distal tip disposed within the catheter (), a catheter hub () connected to the catheter () having the needle () passing therethrough, the catheter hub () including a valve () that selectively permits or blocks a flow of fluid through the catheter (), a valve actuator () that moves between a first position and a second position, and a return member () that returns the valve actuator () from the second position to the first position, and a needle protection member () that encloses the sharp distal tip of the needle ().
