- Designed for peripheral intravenous access in patients with small, fragile, or difficult-to-access veins, such as pediatric, neonatal, and geriatric patients
Uses
- High-Flow Infusion & Transfusion:
- The 16G size is ideal for rapid, large-volume fluid administration and blood transfusions
- Emergency & Critical Care:
- Used in trauma, ER, and OR settings requiring rapid, reliable peripheral IV access
- Special Procedures:
- Specifically designed for applications needing a longer (3.25-inch) catheter
- Long-Term Peripheral Access:
- Suitable for extended peripheral IV use, not for central venous placement
Features
- Dimensions:
- 16 Gauge, 3.25-inch (83mm) length
- Material:
- Made from FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) polymer, which is radio-opaque for X-ray visualization
- Tip Design:
- Features a tapered, B-bevel tip designed for smooth insertion and minimal trauma
- Flow Rate:
- Approximately 127 mL/min (gravity)
- Hub/Connection:
- Luer-Lok™/Luer slip compatible for secure connections
- Safety & Composition:
- Sterile, single-use, latex-free, PVC-free, and DEHP-free
- Packaging:
- 10 per box, 5 boxes per case
Benefits
- Rapid Fluid Delivery:
- The 16-gauge, thin-wall design enables high flow rates, critical for rapid resuscitation
- Enhanced Insertion:
- The tapered, sharp, 3-bevel needle reduces penetration force and eases insertion
- Reduced Complications:
- The 3.25-inch length allows for secure placement in challenging, deeper, or larger veins
- Safety and Compatibility:
- The catheter is non-toxic (not made with BPA, DEHP, PVC, or Latex) and is compatible with standard intravenous equipment
- Secure Access:
- The Luer-Lok™ hub prevents accidental disconnection
