- A safety-engineered device designed for peripheral intravenous access, especially for patients with delicate or compromised veins
- Primarily used by healthcare professionals for various medical applications in pediatric, neonatal, geriatric, and oncology care settings
Uses
- Administration of IV fluids and medications:
- Delivering fluids and non-viscous medications to the bloodstream
- Blood sampling:
- Obtaining blood specimens for laboratory tests
- Blood product transfusion:
- Infusion of blood products in patients requiring small-gauge access
- Oncology treatments:
- Providing stable venous access for patients undergoing chemotherapy or other oncology treatments
- Patient population:
- Ideal for neonates, geriatrics, and chronically ill patients who typically have fragile or difficult-to-access veins
Features
- Push-Button Needle Shielding:
- A patented safety mechanism allows for immediate, one-handed needle retraction into a protective barrel upon insertion, completely encapsulating the sharp
- BD Vialon Biomaterial:
- The catheter is made of a kink-resistant polyurethane material that softens up to 70% inside the vein in response to body temperature
- BD Instaflash Needle Technology:
- The 24-gauge needle includes a unique notch designed to provide immediate visual confirmation of blood return along the catheter shaft, aiding in successful venipuncture, especially in vessels without strong venous tone
- Winged Design:
- Features attached stabilizing wings that provide a large surface area for securement and taping, improving stability and minimizing movement that could lead to complications
- Radiopaque:
- The catheter is also radiopaque, allowing for visualization under imaging
- Design:
- Color-coded yellow hub for easy 24G identification and is radiopaque for visibility under X-ray
- Safety Compliance:
- The product is sterile, disposable, and not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, or PVC
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety for Clinicians:
- The blood control and push-button shielding technologies are clinically demonstrated to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries and blood exposure by 95%
- Improved Patient Comfort and Dwell Time:
- The BD Vialon biomaterial reduces the chance of mechanical phlebitis (vein inflammation) by up to 50%, enabling longer, more comfortable dwell times in the vein
- Higher Insertion Success Rate:
- Instaflash technology helps ensure proper placement and greater first-stick success, reducing painful "hit-and-miss" insertions for patients
- Cost-Effectiveness:
- Longer indwelling times due to fewer complications can lead to reduced IV therapy costs
