Integrated vascular delivery system
First Claim
1. An integrated vascular delivery system adapted to facilitate insertion of a catheter into a patient at an insertion site, comprising:
- a frame including;
a catheter hub coupled to the catheter,a stabilization hub,one or more sensors configured to couple to the catheter hub and/or the stabilization hub,a first flexible lateral member defining a lumen and extending from a distal region of the catheter hub to a proximal region of the stabilization hub,a fluidic channel configured to pass through the catheter hub, wherein the fluidic channel comprises a fixed turnabout portion defined within the catheter hub, wherein the fixed turnabout portion is configured to direct fluid flow toward the distal region of the catheter hub, anda septum coupled to the catheter hub, wherein the septum is configured to receive a needle to facilitate insertion of the catheter at the insertion site; and
a needle shield configured to capture at least a portion of the needle as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter hub.

Abstract
An integrated vascular delivery system and method of use, the system including: a frame having a catheter hub that provides a first anchoring point on the patient and receives a catheter insertable in the patient to transfer fluid at an insertion site, a stabilization hub that provides a second anchoring point on the patient, at least one lateral member extending between the catheter and stabilization hubs, and a fluidic channel. The frame operates in a folded configuration in which the hubs are coupleable and an unfolded configuration in which the anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter. In some embodiments, the system further includes a septum that helps prevent fluid leakage from the catheter hub, or a needle shield that covers the distal end of a needle used during catheter insertion.
