A catheter system comprising: a catheter adapter comprising a catheter hub defining a chamber extending between a distal end and a proximal end of the catheter hub and a catheter extending from the distal end of the catheter hub and in fluid communication with the chamber and a stabilization platform comprising a first wing and a soft push tab, wherein the catheter hub comprises a septum configured such that the needle can removably and slidably pass through a slit in the septum, the catheter hub further comprising a septum canister configured to secure the septum in the catheter hub; and a translucent needle hub comprising a needle configured to slidably fit within the catheter and a needle hub body anchored to a proximal end of the needle, wherein in an insertion configuration, a proximal extension of the catheter hub is removably coupled within a distal opening of the needle hub, and wherein after placement of the catheter, the needle hub is retracted from the catheter adapter to slidably remove the needle from the catheter and to separate the needle hub from the catheter adapter; the needle comprises an open bore in fluid communication with a chamber of the needle hub body and wherein blood may flow through the open bore to the chamber to provide a secondary blood flashback; characterized in that the septum canister comprises a wall, a proximal extension extending proximally from the wall and defining a second lumen, a wall opening in the wall, and a retaining ridge aligned with the wall and extending outwardly from the wall, wherein the wall forms a distal-most end of the septum canister, wherein the septum abuts the wall. a catheter adapter comprising a catheter hub defining a chamber extending between a distal end and a proximal end of the catheter hub and a catheter extending from the distal end of the catheter hub and in fluid communication with the chamber and a stabilization platform comprising a first wing and a soft push tab, wherein the catheter hub comprises a septum configured such that the needle can removably and slidably pass through a slit in the septum, the catheter hub further comprising a septum canister configured to secure the septum in the catheter hub; and a translucent needle hub comprising a needle configured to slidably fit within the catheter and a needle hub body anchored to a proximal end of the needle, wherein in an insertion configuration, a proximal extension of the catheter hub is removably coupled within a distal opening of the needle hub, and wherein after placement of the catheter, the needle hub is retracted from the catheter adapter to slidably remove the needle from the catheter and to separate the needle hub from the catheter adapter; the needle comprises an open bore in fluid communication with a chamber of the needle hub body and wherein blood may flow through the open bore to the chamber to provide a secondary blood flashback; characterized in that the septum canister comprises a wall, a proximal extension extending proximally from the wall and defining a second lumen, a wall opening in the wall, and a retaining ridge aligned with the wall and extending outwardly from the wall, wherein the wall forms a distal-most end of the septum canister, wherein the septum abuts the wall.
