- A large-bore, safety-engineered device used for high-flow peripheral intravenous access
Uses
- Rapid fluid resuscitation:
- Ideal for emergencies and trauma cases where large volumes of fluids need to be administered quickly due to its extremely high flow rate (approximately 330 mL/min)
- Blood and blood product infusion:
- The large 14-gauge lumen accommodates the rapid administration of viscous fluids like blood products
- Power injection:
- The catheter is pressure-rated to 300 psi, allowing for the power injection of contrast media during diagnostic imaging procedures like CT scans
- General IV access:
- Establishing short-term peripheral IV access in adult patients with sufficiently large, robust veins
Features
- Push-Button Needle Shielding:
- A patented safety mechanism allows for immediate, one-handed needle retraction into a protective barrel upon insertion, completely encapsulating the sharp
- BD Vialon Biomaterial:
- The catheter is made of a kink-resistant polyurethane material that softens up to 70% inside the vein in response to body temperature
- Design:
- It features a non-winged, straight hub design and is color-coded orange for easy 14G identification
- Radiopaque:
- The catheter is also radiopaque, allowing for visualization under imaging
- Specifications:
- It has a gravity flow rate of approximately 330mL/min
- Safety Compliance:
- The product is sterile, disposable, and not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, or PVC
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety for Clinicians:
- The blood control and push-button shielding technologies are clinically demonstrated to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries and blood exposure by 95%
- Improved Patient Comfort and Dwell Time:
- The BD Vialon biomaterial reduces the chance of mechanical phlebitis (vein inflammation) by up to 50%, enabling longer, more comfortable dwell times in the vein
- Higher Insertion Success Rate:
- Instaflash technology helps ensure proper placement and greater first-stick success, reducing painful "hit-and-miss" insertions for patients
- Cost-Effectiveness:
- Longer indwelling times due to fewer complications can lead to reduced IV therapy costs
