Abstract
Disclosed herein are two-piece catheters and methods thereof. For example, a two-piece catheter can include a proximal catheter piece and a distal catheter piece. The proximal catheter piece includes a proximal catheter-hub piece and one or more extension legs respectively including one or more extension-leg lumens. Each extension leg of the one-or-more extension legs is coupled to the proximal catheter-hub piece by a distal-end portion of the extension leg. The distal catheter piece includes a distal catheter-hub piece and a catheter tube including one or more catheter-tube lumens. The catheter tube is coupled to the distal catheter-hub piece by a proximal-end portion of the catheter tube. The two-piece catheter has a connected state in which the proximal catheter-hub piece is connected to the distal catheter-hub piece such that the one-or-more catheter-tube lumens are respectively fluidly connected to the one-or-more extension-leg lumens across a two-piece catheter hub.
