- Designed for peripheral intravenous access in patients with small, fragile, or difficult-to-access veins, such as pediatric, neonatal, and geriatric patients
Uses
- Intravenous Therapy:
- Administering fluids, medications, or blood transfusions
- Blood Sampling:
- Used for drawing blood specimens for diagnostic testing
- Specialized Patient Populations:
- Particularly suitable for neonates, infants, young children, and elderly patients with delicate vasculature
- Specific Clinical Environments:
- Commonly found in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (NICU), emergency departments, outpatient infusion centers, and long-term care facilities
Features
- Gauge and Length:
- 24 Gauge (G) diameter with a 0.75-inch (19 mm) length
- Material:
- Constructed from radiopaque FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) polymer, which is flexible and softens at body temperature for patient comfort
- Visibility:
- Features a distinct yellow hub for quick visual identification of the 24-gauge size. The material is also radiopaque, allowing for verification of placement using X-ray imaging
- Needle Design:
- Incorporates a sharp, stainless-steel introducer needle with a B-bevel tip and a clear flashback chamber for immediate confirmation of vessel entry
- Safety Assured:
- The product is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP
- Sterility:
- Provided as a sterile, single-use device to comply with infection control protocols
Benefits
- Minimal Patient Trauma:
- The fine 24-gauge size and short length are designed to access small or challenging veins with precision, minimizing insertion trauma and patient discomfort
- Reliable Performance:
- The combination of a sharp needle and smooth FEP catheter ensures smooth venipuncture and consistent, reliable performance
- Optimal Flow Rates:
- Despite its small size, the thin-wall catheter design allows for a sufficient gravity flow rate of approximately 17 mL/min
- Enhanced Safety and Efficiency:
- The color-coded hub and transparent flashback chamber help healthcare professionals work efficiently and confirm successful vessel entry rapidly
- Biocompatibility:
- Being free of latex, PVC, and DEHP makes the catheter a safer option for a broader range of patients, including those with material sensitivities
