- A standard 22-gauge access device designed for routine clinical use where a safety-retraction mechanism is not required
Uses
- Routine Infusion Therapy:
- Ideal for administering medications, fluids, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream
- Target Populations:
- Frequently used for pediatric and elderly patients or those with smaller, more fragile veins where a larger gauge is unsuitable
- Specialized Access:
- Trusted by anesthesiologists for starting arterial lines and gaining intravenous access in various high-precision procedures
- Clinical Settings:
- Widely used in emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and inpatient hospital settings
Features
- 22 Gauge x 1 Inch:
- A standard medium-sized catheter identified by its blue color-coded hub
- "J"-Point Needle Design:
- A precision-sharpened needle that allows clinicians to "feel" the vein entry more clearly, facilitating successful first-stick attempts
- Thin Wall Construction:
- Engineered with thinner walls than standard catheters, allowing for a higher flow rate (approx. 38 mL/min) within a smaller device footprint
- FEP Polymer Material:
- Constructed from flexible FEP polymer for smooth advancement and durability once in the vein
- Radiopaque:
- Completely visible under X-ray to allow for easy verification of the catheter's position
- Straight Hub:
- Features a standard, non-winged straight hub without additional ports
Benefits
- Consistent Performance:
- The combination of the J-point needle and flexible FEP polymer ensures reliable cannulation and reduced insertion trauma
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- The smooth, tapered tip and precision needle help minimize pain and anxiety for the patient during insertion
- Ease of Visualization:
- A clear hub allows for immediate flashback visualization, providing instant confirmation that the needle has successfully entered the vessel
- Streamlined Workflow:
- Universal color-coding (blue for 22G) enables staff to identify and select the correct size instantly, improving efficiency in fast-paced environments
