A catheter assembly is disclosed, which includes a catheter adapter. A port is disposed in the catheter adapter to provide selective access to the interior of the catheter adapter, and can be used for fluid flushing or infusion. A valve is disposed within the catheter adapter that includes a one-way valve portion that prevents proximally-directed fluid flow. The valve further including a flexible tube portion that covers an opening between the port and the catheter adapter.

1. A catheter assembly comprising: a catheter adapter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the catheter adapter further comprising an inner surface;a port disposed in the catheter adapter, an interior of the port being in fluid communication with the lumen;a valve disposed within the lumen, the valve including a flexible tube having a distal end and a proximal end, an interior of the flexible tube further comprising a one-way valve dividing the lumen of the catheter adapter into a proximal lumen and a distal lumen, an outer surface of the flexible tube covering an opening between the interior of the port and the lumen of the catheter adapter;a first flow pathway through the lumen of the catheter adapter, the interior of the flexible tube, and the one-way valve in a distal direction;a second flow pathway between an outer surface of the proximal end of the flexible tube and the inner surface of the catheter adapter in a proximal direction;a fluid-tight seal interposed between an outer surface of the distal end of the flexible tube and the inner surface of the catheter adapter; anda defeatable seal interposed between the outer surface of the proximal end of the flexible tube and the inner surface of the catheter adapter, wherein the defeatable seal and the second flow pathway allow fluid flow from the port into the proximal lumen, and the one-way valve and first flow pathway allow fluid flow from the proximal lumen to the distal lumen. 2. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the flexible tube is substantially cylindrical. 3. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the one-way valve is a duckbill valve disposed on the proximal end of the flexible tube. 4. The catheter assembly of claim 3, wherein the valve is configured to prevent blood flow under venous pressure in a proximal direction through the one-way valve. 5. The catheter assembly of claim 3, wherein the one-way valve includes two or more flaps coupled to the flexible tube of the valve, the two or more flaps extending inwardly and distally from the flexible tube. 6. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the proximal end of the flexible tube is configured to partially collapse inwardly when a fluid pressure increases within the interior of the port. 7. The catheter assembly of claim 1, wherein the valve is disposed within a channel of the inner surface of the catheter adapter. 8. The catheter assembly of claim 1, further comprising a separate vascular access device having a probe for insertion into a proximal opening of the catheter adapter, the probe having a length sufficient to pass through a slit of the one-way valve to provide a pathway therethrough. 9. The catheter assembly of claim 8, wherein the probe includes a proximal dimension that approximates an inner dimension of the lumen. 10. The catheter assembly of claim 8, wherein the probe includes an activator shaped and sized for insertion through the one-way valve. 11. The catheter assembly of claim 1, further comprising a valve activator disposed within the proximal lumen, the valve activator having a probe portion configured to be inserted through the one-way valve to provide a pathway therethrough. 12. The catheter assembly of claim 11, further comprising a cap having a truncated male luer. 13. A catheter assembly system comprising: a catheter adapter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the catheter adapter further comprising an inner surface;a port disposed in the catheter adapter, an interior of the port being in fluid communication with the lumen;a valve disposed within the lumen, the valve including a flexible tube having a distal end and a proximal end, an interior of the flexible tube further comprising a one-way valve dividing the lumen of the catheter adapter into a proximal lumen and a distal lumen, an outer surface of the flexible tube covering an opening between the interior of the port and the lumen of the catheter adapter;a first flow pathway through the lumen of the catheter adapter, the interior of the flexible tube, and the one-way valve in a distal direction;a second flow pathway between an outer surface of the proximal end of the flexible tube and the inner surface of the catheter adapter in a proximal direction;a fluid-tight seal interposed between an outer surface of the distal end of the flexible tube and the inner surface of the catheter adapter; anda defeatable seal interposed between the outer surface of the proximal end of the flexible tube and the inner surface of the catheter adapter, the defeatable seal and the second flow pathway being configured to allow fluid flow from the port into the proximal lumen chamber, and the one-way valve and the first flow pathway being configured to allow fluid flow from the proximal lumen to the distal lumen; anda valve activator disposed within the proximal lumen, the valve activator having a probe configured to be inserted through the one-way valve of the valve. 14. The catheter assembly of claim 13, wherein the flexible tube of the valve has a substantially cylindrical shape, the one-way valve is a duckbill valve, the one-way valve of the valve being disposed on the proximal end of the flexible tube, and the one-way valve of the valve being configured to withstand at least an average venous pressure in a proximal direction from the distal end to the proximal end.
