- It is a safety-engineered device designed for high-flow peripheral intravenous access
Uses
- Rapid fluid resuscitation:
- Ideal for rapid infusion of large volumes of fluids during emergencies and trauma care due to its high flow rate of 220 mL/min
- Blood and blood product infusion:
- The large lumen is suitable for administering viscous fluids like blood and related products efficiently
- High-volume medication delivery:
- Used for delivering high volumes of medications quickly
- 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 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
- BD Instaflash Needle Technology:
- The 20G needle incorporates a unique notch designed to improve the visualization of the first blood flashback, confirming vessel entry and promoting first-stick success
- Straight Hub Design:
- A non-winged hub design for standard insertion techniques
- Specifications:
- It has a gravity flow rate of approximately 220mL/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
