Abstract:
A catheter assembly includes a catheter, a hub, and a sealing member. The catheter defines one or more lumens. The hub includes one or more hub extensions dimensioned to be received within the one or more lumens of the catheter. The sealing member is positioned adjacent the interface of the catheter and the hub. The sealing member includes an expandable material which increases in volume upon exposure to moisture.

Claim (Index 13):
A catheter assembly, comprising:\n a catheter defining a lumen; a hub including a hub extension dimensioned to be received within the lumen of the catheter and a casing defining a cavity; and an expandable sealing member positioned within the cavity, the expandable sealing member being configured to increase in volume upon exposure to moisture, wherein when the hub extension is received within the lumen of the catheter, a proximal end of the catheter abuts the sealing member such that upon exposure to moisture, the expandable sealing member fills in any gaps between the hub extension and a surface of the catheter defining the lumen.
