摘要：
A vascular access device (200) includes strain relief features to minimize the likelihood of the extension tubing (203) becoming kinked during use. These strain relief features can be configured at both ends of the extension tubing to minimize the likelihood of kinking at the interfaces to the catheter adapter (201) and luer adapter (204). To provide strain relief at the catheter adapter end of the extension tubing, an interface (201c1) formed of a flexible material can be aligned with an extension (201d) of the catheter adapter into which the extension tubing inserts. The interface can be integrated into a stabilization platform or formed separately from a stabilization platform. To provide strain relief at the luer adapter end of the extension tubing, a flexible spacer (206) can be coupled to a distal end of the adapter and have a distal portion (206a) that is positioned around the extension tube.
