Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A catheter assembly (10) may include a catheter adapter (12), which may include a body (14) and a side port (16) extending outwardly from the body. The body may include a distal end (18), a proximal end (20), and an inner surface (22) extending through the distal end and the proximal end and forming a lumen (24). The catheter assembly may include one or more components to facilitate flushing of the catheter assembly. For example, an angle of the side port with respect to a longitudinal axis of the body may be adjustable. The catheter assembly may include a catheter (26) extending distally from the distal end of the catheter adapter. The catheter assembly may include a septum (30) disposed within the lumen proximal to a side port pathway extending through the side port and in fluid communication with the lumen.
