Abstract
A catheter insertion device that allows for single-handed insertion of the catheter within the vasculature of the patient is disclosed. The catheter insertion device includes an insertion group and a catheter group. The insertion group includes a handle, a needle cannula partially within the handle, and a needle support connected to the handle. The catheter group includes an elongated catheter and a catheter hub connected to the proximal end of the elongated catheter. The needle support includes two parallel features separated by a distance greater than an outer diameter of the elongated catheter to stabilize the needle cannula during insertion of the needle cannula into a patient. The needle cannula includes a cantilever portion extending from the handle. The needle support stabilizes the needle cannula during insertion of the needle cannula into a patient.
