Abstract
A subcutaneous tunneling device includes a shaft having a bend, a catheter connector extending from a distal end of the shaft distal of the bend, and a sleeve. The catheter connector can include a body having a gripping portion, and a barbed extension distal of the body configured for insertion into a lumen of a catheter. The sleeve is slidably mounted on the shaft, and has a retracted position exposing the catheter connector to permit a distal end of a catheter to be coupled thereto, and an extended position covering the catheter connector and the distal end of the catheter.
