Abstract
A catheter inserter () including an actuator assembly () to move a catheter assembly outside a housing () by engaging the catheter assembly multiple times, in an example. The inserter includes a needle assembly () in a housing that has a first position with a needle extending from the housing and a second position with the needle retracted into the housing. A catheter assembly () is removably positioned in the housing and includes a catheter () and a hub () connected to the catheter. An actuator assembly () is further mounted to the housing and operates to selectively engage a guidewire assembly to move the guidewire past the needle and to selectively engage the catheter assembly to move the catheter and the hub outside the housing.
