- It is a safety-engineered device used for peripheral intravenous access
Uses
- Administration of IV fluids and medications:
- Delivering various fluids, electrolytes, and medications directly into the bloodstream
- Infusion of blood products:
- Suitable for the transfusion of blood and related products
- Obtaining venous blood samples:
- Used for drawing blood specimens for laboratory tests
- Power injection:
- The catheter is pressure-rated to 300 psi, allowing for the power injection of contrast media during diagnostic imaging procedures like CT scans
- Patient population:
- Well-suited for adult and pediatric patients with small-to-medium or fragile veins due to its 20G size and BD Vialon material
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 20G 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 gravity flow rate of approximately 60mL/min
- 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
