1. A catheter system comprising:

  • a catheter adapter comprising;

    a catheter hub comprising a distal end and a proximal end and defining a chamber extending between the distal end and the proximal end;

    a catheter extending from the distal end of the catheter hub and in fluid communication with the chamber;

    a stabilization platform;

    a septum disposed within the chamber, wherein the septum comprises a distal wall, a proximal opening, a shoulder disposed between the distal wall and the proximal opening, a first extension extending proximally from the shoulder, and a first lumen extending from the distal wall through the proximal opening; and

    a septum canister, comprising a wall, a second extension extending distally from the wall, a third extension extending proximally from the wall, and a wall opening in the wall, wherein the second extension defines a second lumen, wherein the third extension defines a third lumen, wherein the first extension is slidably received within the second lumen, wherein the shoulder abuts the second extension; and

    a needle hub comprising;

    a needle configured to slidably fit within the catheter, wherein the wall opening is configured to receive the needle;

    a needle hub body anchored to a proximal end of the needle,wherein in an insertion configuration, the proximal end of the catheter hub is removably coupled within a distal opening of the needle hub, andwherein after placement of the catheter, the needle hub is retracted from the catheter adapter to slidably remove the needle from the catheter and to separate the needle hub from the catheter adapter.
