- It is a safety-engineered device used for general peripheral intravenous access
Uses
- Administration of IV fluids and medications:
- Used for delivering hydration, electrolytes, antibiotics, and pain management drugs
- Infusion of blood products:
- Suitable for the transfusion of blood and related products
- Obtaining venous blood samples:
- Allows for efficient blood draws in routine or emergency settings
- General IV access:
- Establishing short-to-moderate term peripheral IV access in adult and pediatric patients with average vein size
Features:
- Push-Button Needle Shielding:
- A patented mechanism instantly retracts the needle into a protective shield at the push of a button, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries for healthcare providers
- BD Vialon Biomaterial:
- The catheter is made from a unique, proprietary biomaterial that softens by up to 70% inside the vein
- This characteristic increases indwelling time, reduces the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%, and provides greater kink resistance
- BD Instaflash Notched Needle Technology:
- The 24-gauge needle features a unique notch that allows for immediate visual confirmation of vessel entry along the catheter shaft. This enhances first-stick success, especially in patients with small or fragile veins
- Design:
- Non-winged, straight hub design, color-coded yellow for 24G identification, and radiopaque for visibility under X-ray
- Flow Rate:
- It has a gravity flow rate of approximately 65 mL/min and is pressure-rated to 300 psi for power injections
- Safety Compliance:
- The product is sterile, disposable, and not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, or PVC
Benefits:
- Enhanced Clinician Safety:
- The push-button shielding technology is demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries, which helps healthcare facilities comply with safety guidelines
- Improved Patient Comfort and Vein Preservation:
- The BD Vialon material reduces the incidence of mechanical phlebitis (vein inflammation) by up to 50%, which can lead to longer, more comfortable dwell times and fewer IV restarts for the patient
- Higher Insertion Success Rate:
- Instaflash technology aids clinicians in quickly and confidently confirming vessel entry, which can improve first-attempt insertion success, especially in patients with challenging venous access, leading to a less painful experience
- Efficient Workflow:
- The reliable insertion process and integrated safety mechanism streamline the IV access procedure for healthcare providers
