ABSTRACT:
A winged IV catheter assembly includes a central tube having a proximal end and a distal end secured to a catheter. The outer circumference of the central tube has at least one annular bead. The assembly also includes a winged inserter having a longitudinally extending body and a pair of flexible wings connected to the body. The body includes a central passageway. The passageway includes at least one annular groove for receiving the annular bead on the central tube. The central tube and catheter can be rotatably positioned within the passageway of the winged inserter. The central tube and catheter then can be rotated with respect to the winged inserter as needed by a health care worker to facilitate insertion of the catheter into a patient.
