Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A catheter system (10) to reduce a risk of transfixing a blood vessel. The catheter system includes a catheter adapter, which includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween. The catheter system includes a catheter (40) extending distally from the distal end of the catheter adapter. The catheter system includes an introducer needle (12) extending through the catheter (40). The introducer needle (12) includes a sharp distal tip (24) and a primary bevel (22) extending from an outer edge (20) of the introducer needle (12) to the sharp distal tip (24). The outer edge (20) is parallel to a central axis (16) of the introducer needle (12) and aligned with the sharp distal tip (24). The primary bevel (22) includes a primary bevel angle with respect to the central axis (16). The primary bevel angle is between 20° and 33°.
