- Sterile, 20-gauge x 1-inch peripheral IV catheter designed for secure intravenous access
Uses
- Intravenous (IV) access:
- Used to establish temporary peripheral venous access for medical purposes in various healthcare settings
- Fluid and medication administration:
- Enables the delivery of routine IV fluids, medications, and nutrients into a patient's bloodstream
- Blood sampling:
- Suitable for drawing blood samples from a peripheral vein
- General clinical use:
- Ideal for wards, clinics, and general care units due to the common 20G size which offers a balanced flow rate for many applications
Features
- Gauge and length:
- 20-gauge (pink hub), 1 inch long
- 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) or Teflon material that helps assure stable flow and prevents tip kinking during venipuncture
- Translucent hub and flashback chamber:
- Allows for easy visual confirmation (blood flashback) of correct vein insertion, improving accuracy
- 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 and DEHP to prevent allergic reactions or adverse effects
- DEHP-free:
- Manufactured without DEHP to prevent allergic reactions or adverse effects
- Wingless design:
- Streamlines the insertion process and secure placement
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 allows for quick size identification, and the clear flashback chamber facilitates easy detection of blood flashback, streamlining clinical workflows
- Cost-effectiveness:
- The design helps reduce complications like tip-kinking, which can lead to lower total IV therapy costs
