- Used in medical, dental and veterinary settings
Uses
- Rapid Intravenous Fluid Administration:
- The large 14G gauge allows for high flow rates, making it ideal for rapid fluid resuscitation
- Trauma and Emergency Settings:
- Frequently used in emergency rooms and trauma situations due to the need for immediate, high-volume access
- Medication and Blood Transfusions:
- Establishing immediate IV access for infusing medications, blood, or blood products into the bloodstream
- General IV Therapy:
- Used in hospitals, clinics, and home care environments for various intravenous therapies
Features
- Type:
- IV Catheter (Intravenous Catheter), "pen type" design
- Gauge:
- 14G (14 gauge)
- This is the largest size typically used and is color-coded orange on the hub for easy identification
- Length:
- 1.25 inches - 1-1/4"
- Safety:
- Includes a hydrophobic membrane filter to prevent blood leakage when the catheter is connected to a syringe
- Material:
- Made from radiopaque Teflon/Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) material, which provides clear visibility under X-ray imaging and ensures smooth venipuncture with no catheter tip fold back
- Design:
- Translucent catheter hub and flashback chamber to allow for easy detection of blood upon vein entry (flashback)
- Functional casing designed for one-handed opening and no rolling
- Precision taper assures smooth venipuncture with no catheter tip fold back
- Sterility:
- Sterile, single-use, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic
- Latex-Free:
- Not made with natural rubber latex
Benefits
- Efficiency in emergencies:
- The large gauge and high flow rate allow for rapid intervention in critical situations, potentially improving patient outcomes
- Safety and infection control:
- Individual sterile packaging, single-use design, and the hydrophobic filter minimize the risk of infection and cross-contamination
- Improved insertion success:
- The smooth venipuncture, sharp needle, and clear flashback chamber facilitate a high first-stick success rate, reducing the need for multiple attempts and saving time
- Reliable performance:
- The kink-resistant, radiopaque material ensures stability during use and allows for confirmation of placement via imaging, offering peace of mind to healthcare providers
