ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a yoke latch for coupling a needle puller and a catheter adaptor of a vascular access device. The yoke latch generally comprises a push bar, at least one prong attached to the push bar, and at least one locking tab attached to the prong. The yoke latch is generally horseshoe-shaped and straddles the needle puller. When the needle puller and catheter are joined, the locking tab of the yoke latch engage the catheter adaptor preventing its movement relative to the needle puller. A clinician, therefore, can grip the vascular access device by the catheter adaptor, or any part thereof, for better control without having the catheter prematurely uncouple from the needle puller during catheter insertion. The yoke latch also permits one hand yoke latch disengagement and needle puller removal.
