- A peripheral intravenous catheter designed with passive, fully automatic, "needlestick" protection and a multi-access blood control septum
Uses
- Intravenous Access:
- Used for short-term (less than 30 days) peripheral vascular access to administer fluids and blood, as well as to monitor blood pressure
- Blood Sampling:
- Used to withdraw blood samples for diagnostics
- Power Injection:
- Suitable for use with power injectors for contrast media (up to 325 psi) during CT imaging
- Subcutaneous Infusion:
- Can be used for subcutaneous infusion therapies
Features
- Passive Safety Technology:
- A safety mechanism that deploys automatically upon needle removal, which cannot be bypassed and prevents needle reinsertions
- Multi-Access Blood Control Septum:
- Reduces blood exposure and leakage from the catheter hub when the needle is removed and each time the hub is accessed, eliminating the need to occlude the vessel
- Double Flashback Technology:
- Features two distinct flashback points—one at the needle tip and one between the catheter and cannula—to provide instant visual confirmation that both have entered the vessel
- Universal Bevel:
- A specialized, sharp needle design that allows for a wide range of insertion angles and requires less insertion force (less tissue tearing)
- Polyurethane (PUR) Material:
- Offers high-quality, durable catheter material known for better flexibility and indwell performance
- Non-PVC/DEHP/Latex:
- The device is manufactured without PVC, DEHP, or natural rubber latex
Benefits
- High First-Stick Success Rate:
- Studies show that 96% of clinicians achieved first-stick success, enhancing patient comfort and reducing the need for repeated attempts
- Reduced Needlestick Injuries:
- Passive safety designs provide 2–3 times better protection than active, user-activated safety devices'
- Lowered Risk of Blood Exposure:
- The multi-access septum reduces the risk of contact with blood, improving safety and reducing time spent on clean-up
- Improved Patient Comfort:
- The sharp needle and flexible material are designed to minimize tissue damage and enhance user experience
- Optimized Flow Rates:
- The 20-gauge, 1.25-inch design is well-suited for high-flow rate applications, such as contrast studies
