Zusammenfassung:Extended dwell catheter assemblies (100) each with a housing (102) having an interior (104) having a catheter assembly (108) located therein, which can include a catheter tube (110) and a needle (112). The catheter tube (110) of the catheter assembly (108) can be placed into a vein of a patient, with or without a guidewire, and then the extended dwell catheter assembly (100) can be activated to separate into two or more housing components (193, 194) or by opening a gate (340, 606a, 606b) to enable separation of the catheter assembly (108) from the housing (102). A needle guard (140) can be included to cover the needle tip (114) of the needle (112) from unintended needlesticks.
