- It is a large-bore, safety-engineered device designed for high-flow peripheral intravenous access
Uses
- Rapid fluid resuscitation:
- Ideal for emergency and trauma care where high volumes of fluids or medications need to be administered quickly
- Blood and blood product infusion:
- The large 16-gauge lumen accommodates the administration of viscous fluids like blood and blood products efficiently
- Radiology and diagnostic imaging:
- Suitable for power injection of contrast media during procedures such as CT scans (pressure-rated to 300 psi)
- Critical care and surgical settings:
- Used in operating rooms and intensive monitoring units for dependable, high-flow vascular access in adult patients
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 16G 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 high gravity flow rate of approximately 220 mL/min and is radiopaque
- 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
