wiping blood from the needle as it withdraws by passing the needle through a wiper, the wiper being disposed in the second hub and having a fixed continuous perimeter defining an opening, the fixed continuous perimeter being in contact with the needle along a section of the fixed continuous perimeter from a point on the needle inside the interior cavity of the second hub and continuously contacting the needle during the withdrawing step to at least a point adjacent the sharp distal tip for wiping the needle during the withdrawing step.
8. The method of claim 5, wherein tip protector comprises two arms that extend, at least in part, to one side of the needle.
11. A method of cleaning an exterior of a needle during a process of emplacing a catheter using a catheter assembly, the method comprising;
inserting the needle of the catheter assembly into a person's vasculature at an access site, the needle having a sharp distal tip and extending distally from a proximal hub;
inserting the catheter of the catheter assembly into the vasculature at the access site, the catheter being disposed about the needle and extending distally from a distal hub including a housing having an exterior surface and an interior surface defining an interior cavity, the proximal and distal hubs releasably engaging one another;
passing the needle through a wiper as it withdraws, the wiper removing blood from the exterior of the needle, the wiper having a fixed continuous perimeter defining an opening, the fixed continuous perimeter being in contact with the exterior of the needle along a section of the fixed continuous perimeter from a point on the needle inside the interior cavity of the distal hub and continuously contacting the needle during the withdrawing step to at least a point adjacent the sharp distal tip for wiping the needle during the withdrawing step.
