Abstract

An intravenous catheter device may include a guidewire for actively repositioning the catheter tip. A guidewire assembly may be configured to enable a clinician to actively reposition the catheter tip by moving proximal ends of segments of the guidewire. By repositioning the catheter tip, the guidewire assembly may facilitate the collection of a blood sample or the injection of a fluid through the catheter even in instances when the catheter tip has become occluded.
