The catheter assembly (10) has a catheter (12), a catheter hub (20), an inner needle (14) and an inner needle hub (30).The catheter assembly (10) is disposed in a hollow portion (14a) extending in the axial direction of the inner needle (14), and includes a blunt needle (16) having a blunt tip portion and a moving mechanism (17) for moving the blunt needle (16).The moving mechanism (17) is formed separately from the catheter hub (20) and protrudes the tip of the blunt needle (16) from the needle tip (15) as the catheter (12) moves.カテーテル組立体(10)は、カテーテル(12)と、カテーテルハブ(20)と、内針(14)と、内針ハブ(30)とを有する。またカテーテル組立体(10)は、内針(14)の内部を軸方向に延びる中空部(14a)に配置され、針先(15)よりも鈍な先端部を有する鈍針(16)と、鈍針(16)を移動させる移動機構(17)と、を備える。移動機構(17)は、カテーテルハブ(20)とは別体に構成され、カテーテル(12)の移動に伴って鈍針(16)の先端を針先(15)よりも突出させる。
