摘要：
An IV access device can include a needle hub having an angled paddle grip to facilitate insertion of the catheter at a low angle. The angled paddle grip can also minimize any interference that an extension tube or stabilization platform may cause during insertion. By employing an angled paddle grip, the catheter can be inserted while maintaining the stabilization platform in an orientation that is substantially parallel to the patient's skin. Also, in cases where the extension tube may run parallel with the stabilization platform, the angled paddle grip can prevent the extension tube from extending into the patient's skin during insertion. This will prevent the stabilization platform and/or the extension tube from catching on the patient's skin or otherwise inhibiting a smooth insertion of the catheter.
