Low profile catheter system

Abstract

A low profile catheter system includes a catheter hub with proximal, distal, and intermediate portions, a stabilization surface located on an underside, and a receptacle located within a top surface. A substantially linear flow path extends from an opening at the distal portion to an inlet located within the intermediate portion and allows fluid to flow between the distal and intermediate portions. The inlet of the flow path is located between the proximal and distal portions. A base connector has a fluid path extending through at least a portion of the base connector and between a first opening located nearer a first end and a second opening. The fluid path is fluidly connected to the inlet of the flow path and a second end of the base connector is retained within the receptacle by the proximal portion when the base connector is received by the receptacle.
