The present invention is directed to an insertion device, such as a catheter, including a tip having a hollow, substantially radial cross sectional configuration and a substantially parabolic longitudinal configuration with a circular tip curvature. The outer wall of the novel tip of the invention is completely curved, and contains no straight or angled outer walls within the length of the tip. The inner wall of the tip defines a substantially straight passageway through which a piercing device such as a needle may be inserted.
