Patent Issued for Cover to facilitate reduced-touch insertion of a catheter and related systems and methods (USPTO 11707601).

A catheter assembly may include a catheter hub, the catheter extending distally from the catheter hub, and the introducer needle extending through the catheter. In some embodiments, the catheter assembly may include a catheter hub, which may include a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending through the distal end of the catheter hub and the proximal end of the catheter hub. In some embodiments, the cover may facilitate "no-touch" insertion of the catheter or insertion of the catheter without touching of the catheter hub by the user. [Extracted from the article]
