Abstract
A catheter assembly is disclosed, comprising a proximal catheter assembly portion and a distal catheter assembly portion. The proximal catheter assembly portion includes a bifurcating hub that defines at least one fluid passageway. The distal catheter assembly portion includes a catheter tube that defines at least one lumen and includes a polymeric material. A cannula assembly is also disclosed and includes at least one cannula that is operably connected with the fluid passageway of the birfurcating hub. The cannula is further configured to operably connect with the lumen of the catheter tube so as to provide fluid communication between the proximal and distal catheter assembly portions when the two portions are connected. A polymeric coating is included with the cannula and the catheter tube, and is configured to provide a seal between the cannula and the catheter tube when the proximal and distal catheter assembly portions are connected together.
