A 16-gauge large-bore access device designed for high-flow clinical applications where safety features are not required
Uses
- Rapid Fluid Resuscitation:
- Essential for trauma and emergency departments where large volumes of fluids or blood products must be administered quickly
- Surgical Procedures:
- Frequently used in the OR for patients requiring stable, high-flow access during anesthesia and surgery
- Arterial Line Initiation:
- Trusted by clinicians for gaining reliable access in critical care settings
Features
- 16 Gauge x 1-1/4 Inch:
- A large-bore catheter identified by its gray color-coded hub
- "J"-Point Needle Design:
- Precision-sharpened to allow clinicians to "feel" the vein entry, facilitating more successful first-stick attempts
- Thin-Wall Construction:
- Engineered to provide a high flow rate (approx. 210 mL/min) within a standard outer diameter
- FEP Polymer Material:
- Flexible and durable, designed for smooth advancement and to minimize kinking
- Radiopaque:
- Completely visible under X-ray for easy placement verification
Benefits
- Exceptional Flow Rates:
- The 16G thin-wall design is ideal for critical situations requiring maximum volume delivery
- Reliable Performance:
- The combination of the J-point needle and flexible FEP polymer ensures consistent cannulation even in challenging scenarios
- Immediate Confirmation:
- The clear hub allows for rapid flashback visualization, providing instant proof of successful vessel entry
- Procedural Control:
- As a non-safety catheter, it offers a traditional, lightweight feel that many clinicians prefer for specific technical insertions
