- A 20-gauge, 2-inch straight peripheral intravenous catheter designed for efficient vascular access and clinician safety
Uses
- Vascular Access:
- Primarily used for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids and blood products intravascularly
- Subcutaneous Infusion:
- Indicated for subcutaneous infusion therapies
- Power Injection:
- Capable of withstanding high-pressure power injections up to 325 psi
- Patient Population:
- Suitable for use in adults, pediatrics, and neonates
Features
- Multi-Access Blood Control (MABC):
- Features an integrated septum that automatically restricts blood flow from the hub after needle removal, which works multiple times during the IV process to prevent spillage without requiring manual vessel occlusion
- Passive Safety Shield:
- A fully automatic safety mechanism that covers the needle tip immediately upon withdrawal which cannot be bypassed and requires no user activation, effectively preventing needlestick injuries
- Double Flashback Technology:
- Provides two separate visual confirmations: "Needle Flash" confirms the needle has entered the vein, and "Catheter Flash" confirms successful catheter placement
- Universal Bevel Needle:
- Designed with a unique back-cut to allow for a wide range of insertion angles, aiding in both deep and superficial vascular access
- Materials:
- Constructed from Polyurethane (PUR), which is designed to soften once inside the vein for improved indwelling performance and it is not made with DEHP, PVC, or natural rubber latex
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety:
- Passive safety devices are proven to be significantly more effective at preventing needlestick injuries compared to active "push-button" or sliding shield devices
- Infection and Exposure Control:
- The blood control septum reduces the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens for healthcare workers
- Improved Efficiency:
- Double flashback technology supports "first-stick" success (achieved by 96% of clinicians in clinical studies), reducing the time and cost associated with multiple insertion attempts
- Reduced Cleanup:
- By eliminating blood leakage during hub access, the device reduces the need for gauze, drapes, and other cleanup materials
