Zusammenfassung:A fenestration over-the-needle catheter assembly which includes a catheter with a catheter body. The catheter body has a projection which extends in an axial direction from the distal end of the catheter. The projection may have a point of connection to the catheter body such that the projection can be transitioned into a closed position, covering an opening in the distal end of the catheter. The projection may be configured to interact with a needle which has been inserted into the lumen and extends through the opening in the distal end, such that the projection is in an open position when the needle is extended through the opening in the distal end and is in a closed position when the needle is withdrawn into the lumen or removed from the catheter.
