Abstract

Medical devices including vascular access kits and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, a vascular access system may include a first conduit, a second conduit, and a connector that is reversibly or irreversibly coupled to both the first and second conduits such that there is a continuous lumen from the first conduit and the second conduit. In some embodiments the vascular access system may include a connector where the inside geometry of the connector enhances laminar flow. The vascular access system, when implanted and assembled, may be a fully subcutaneous surgical implant.
