Summary: | An apparatus may include a connector (10), which may include a proximal end (14) and a distal end (16). The distal end of the connector may include a male luer adapter, which may be configured to couple with a proximal end of a catheter adapter. The apparatus may include a catheter (12), which may include a proximal end secured within the connector. The catheter may be configured to extend through an indwelling peripheral intravenous catheter. The catheter may include a closed distal end (24) and a slit (26) adjacent to the closed distal end. The slit may be closed under normal physiological pressures. |
