Abstract
A system can include a needle that includes a distal tip configured to be inserted into a vessel of a patient, the needle defining an outer surface. The system can further include a catheter that includes a distal end and an inner surface that defines a lumen within which a portion of the needle is positioned, the distal tip of the needle being at a position that is distal to the distal end of the catheter, the catheter further comprising a catching region of reduced diameter that extends inwardly at the distal end of the catheter. The system can include a longitudinally extending stiffener positioned between the outer surface of the needle and the inner surface of the catheter, the stiffener including a distal end that engages the catching region of the catheter when the catheter and the stiffener are inserted distally into the vessel of the patient over the needle, the stiffener being configured to disengage from the catheter and translate proximally relative thereto to leave the catheter positioned within the vessel of the patient as the stiffener is withdrawn from the catheter in a proximal direction.
