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 . <EOS>
