- Sterile, 18-gauge x 2-inch peripheral IV catheter with a green hub, designed as an all-in-one "Safelet" angiocatheter system for secure intravenous access
Uses
- Intravenous (IV) access:
- Used to establish temporary peripheral venous access in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home care environments
- Fluid and medication administration:
- Enables the delivery of IV fluids, medications, and nutrients into a patient's bloodstream
- Blood sampling:
- Suitable for drawing blood samples from a peripheral vein
- Moderate flow rates:
- The 18G size allows for sufficient flow rates for many routine medical applications
Features
- Gauge and length:
- 18-Gauge, 2-inch catheter, identifiable by the standard green 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
- FEP catheter material:
- Made with a precision-finished FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) catheter that is kink-resistant and assures stable flow during venipuncture
- Translucent hub and flashback chamber:
- Allows for easy visual confirmation (blood flashback) of correct vein insertion
- Radiopaque:
- The catheter material is radiopaque, allowing it to be visible under X-ray imaging to confirm placement
- Hydrophobic membrane filter:
- Includes a filter to prevent blood leakage when connecting a syringe, enhancing safety
- Latex-free:
- Manufactured without natural rubber latex to prevent allergic reactions
- "New Point" finished needle:
- Features a sharp introducer needle that requires no incision at the venipuncture site, aiding smooth insertion
Benefits
- Reliable and efficient:
- 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, single-use design, and the hydrophobic filter minimize the risk of infection and cross-contamination
- Patient comfort:
- The smooth insertion process and kink-resistant material help minimize patient discomfort during the procedure and reduce the risk of phlebitis
- Ease of use:
- The color-coded cap for quick size identification and the clear flashback chamber streamline clinical workflows
- Reduced complications:
- Crimped smooth engagement between the catheter and hub helps eliminate blood residuals and reduce blood coagulation or hemolysis
