- A 22-gauge, 1-inch, single-port closed IV catheter system designed for peripheral intravenous (PIV) therapy
Uses
- Peripheral Infusion:
- Used for the administration of medications, fluids, and blood products
- High-Risk Sites:
- Ideal for patients requiring long-term, continuous, or intermittent IV therapy, as it helps preserve insertion sites
- Hospital and Clinical Settings:
- Designed for use in inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care where reducing, infections, and improving catheter stability is critical
Features
- Integrated System:
- Combines four components (catheter, extension set, stabilization, and hub) into one pre-assembled unit
- BD Vialon™ Biomaterial:
- A proprietary polyurethane material that softens up to 70% in the vein, allowing for longer dwell times (up to 144 hours) and reducing mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%
- BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology:
- Features a notched needle that provides instant visualization of blood, improving first-stick success rates
- Built-in Stabilization Platform:
- A soft, flexible, integrated platform designed to minimize catheter movement within the vessel, reducing dislodgement by 84%
- Closed System Design:
- Designed to reduce blood leakage from the hub and minimize exposure to blood, with studies showing a 98% reduction in blood exposure
- Specifications:
- 22 Gauge, 1 Inch (25 mm) length, Blue hub, 33 mL/min gravity flow rate
Benefits
- Improved Patient Comfort:
- Softening catheter material and increased stability reduce irritation and pain, resulting in higher patient satisfaction
- Reduced Complications:
- The integrated design helps lower rates of phlebitis and infiltration
- Increased Efficiency & Cost Reduction:
- Higher first-stick success rates mean fewer restarts, reducing the time, equipment, and cost associated with IV replacement
- Safety:
- The passive, automatic needle-shielding mechanism protects clinicians from accidental needlestick injuries
