Abstract
A catheter insertion device () is provided for positioning and inserting a catheter (), particularly a midline catheter into a patient. The insertion device () includes an introducer needle () that extends from the distal end of the catheter during insertion. A manually operated actuator assembly () is movable with respect to a housing for deploying the catheter () over the distal end of the introducer needle (). A step-wise movement of the actuator () advances the catheter () in stages over the introducer needle (). A shuttling or indexing mechanism () advances the catheter and prevents retraction of the catheter once deployed.
