- Sterile, 16-gauge x 2-inch peripheral IV catheter with a medium grey hub, designed for safe and efficient intravenous access
Uses
- Intravenous (IV) access:
- Used to establish short-term venous access for medical purposes in hospitals, clinics, and emergency settings
- Rapid fluid/medication administration:
- The large 16G size allows for high flow rates, making it suitable for rapid administration of IV fluids, medications, and nutrients
- Blood sampling:
- Can be used for drawing blood samples from the peripheral vein
- Surgical procedures:
- Often used during surgical procedures where large-bore IV access is necessary
Features
- Gauge and length:
- 16-gauge, 2-inch catheter, identifiable by the standard medium grey hub color
- Sterile and single-use:
- Each catheter is individually packaged as a sterile, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic device to ensure hygiene and patient safety
- Translucent hub and flashback chamber:
- Allows for easy visual confirmation (blood flashback) of correct vein insertion
- FEP catheter material:
- Made with a precision-finished FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) catheter to assure stable flow and prevent tip kinking during venipuncture
- Radiopaque:
- The catheter material is radiopaque, allowing for clear visibility under X-ray or other imaging techniques to confirm placement
- Hydrophobic membrane filter:
- The design includes a hydrophobic membrane filter to prevent blood leakage
- Latex-free:
- Manufactured without natural rubber latex to prevent allergic reactions
Benefits
- Efficient and reliable:
- The functional design and precision tip allow for smooth, safe venipuncture and reliable performance, ensuring a high first-stick success rate
- Safety and infection control:
- Individual sterile packaging and single-use design minimize the risk of infection and cross-contamination. The hydrophobic filter eliminates blood leakage, further enhancing safety
- Patient comfort:
- The smooth insertion and stable flow help minimize patient discomfort during the procedure and reduce the risk of vein inflammation (phlebitis)
- Ease of use:
- The color-coded cap allows for quick size identification, and the translucent hub facilitates easy detection of blood flashback, streamlining clinical workflows
- Versatility:
- The robust 16G size provides versatility for high-flow applications, making it suitable for a wide variety of medical needs
