ABSTRACT:
The present invention system allows for an easier insertion and placement of IV catheters. This invention comprises a clip device attachable to a conventional catheter. The clip enables the practitioner to insert and withdraw the catheter device from the patient with the use of only one hand. This ability to perform this procedure with only one hand enables the practitioner to use the other free hand to hold, secure and restrain the patient. As a result, this invention greatly reduces the need to reinsert the needle multiple times because patient movement has affected the insertion process.
