- Sterile, 24-gauge x 3/4-inch (in) peripheral IV catheter designed for safe and efficient intravenous access, particularly in delicate patient populations
Uses
- Intravenous (IV) access:
- Used to establish short-term venous access for medical purposes in various healthcare settings
- Fluid and medication administration:
- Enables the delivery of IV fluids, medications, and nutrients into a patient's bloodstream
- Pediatric and geriatric patients:
- The small 24G size and short length make it an ideal choice for patients with small, sensitive, or hard-to-access veins, such as infants, children, or the elderly
- Blood sampling:
- Can be used for drawing blood samples from the peripheral vein
Features
- Gauge and length:
- 24-gauge, 3/4-inch catheter, identifiable by the standard yellow hub color
- 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 catheter material that assures 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 from the hub when a syringe is not connected, enhancing safety
- Latex-free:
- Manufactured without natural rubber latex to prevent allergic reactions or adverse effects
- DEHP-free:
- Manufactured without DEHP to prevent allergic reactions or adverse effects
- Functional casing:
- Designed for one-handed opening to prevent rolling and allow quick access
Benefits
- Improved patient comfort:
- The small gauge, smooth insertion process, and kink-resistant material minimize patient discomfort during the procedure and reduce the risk of phlebitis
- Safety and infection control:
- Individual sterile packaging, single-use design, and the hydrophobic filter minimize the risk of infection and cross-contamination
- Ease of use and efficiency:
- The color-coded cap for quick size identification, one-handed opening, and the clear flashback chamber streamline clinical workflows and save time
- Reliable performance:
- The precise design helps ensure a high first-stick success rate, reducing the need for multiple attempts and improving overall efficiency
- Versatility:
- The small, stable design makes it a versatile solution for a range of patients, particularly those with difficult venous access
