- Designed for safe and effective intravenous access in clinical setting
Uses
- Peripheral Venous Access:
- Establishing a secure and stable connection for intravenous therapy
- Administration of Fluids, Medications, and Blood Products:
- Delivering necessary treatments directly into a patient's bloodstream
- Single-use application:
- Intended for one-time use to maintain sterility and safety standards
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 24-gauge needle includes a unique notch designed to provide immediate visual confirmation of blood return along the catheter shaft, aiding in successful venipuncture, especially in vessels without strong venous tone
- Winged Design:
- Provides a stable base for secure placement and easier handling during insertion
- Radiopaque:
- The catheter is also radiopaque, allowing for visualization under imaging
- 16G x 1.77" Size:
- A large gauge (gray hub) suitable for high flow rates (approx. 185 mL/min), often used for rapid fluid resuscitation or blood transfusions
- Sterile & Latex-Free:
- Each catheter is individually packaged, sterile, and constructed with latex-free materials to reduce the risk of allergic reactions
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
