Abstract
A handheld vascular access device for gaining access to a patient's vessel includes a hub, a plurality of access needles and a manifold. The hub has an inner wall and side walls that define a plurality of ports. Each of the plurality of ports has a proximal port end and a distal port end. The proximal port ends define a proximal cross-sectional area and the distal port ends define a distal cross-sectional area. The proximal cross-sectional areas are greater than the distal cross-sectional areas. Each of the plurality of ports taper from the proximal port end to the distal port end. The plurality of hollow access needles is arranged along a plane and fixedly coupled to the distal end of the hub. Each of the plurality of needles has a tip. The manifold removably engages the hub at the proximal end of the hub.
