- A sterile, pre-filled, single-use syringe containing 3mL Heparin Sodium in a 10 mL syringe barrel, specifically designed to maintain the patency of vascular access devices by preventing thrombotic buildup from forming in intravenous (IV) lines, central venous catheters, and implanted ports
Uses
- Catheter Patency Maintenance:
- Keeps peripheral and central venous catheters, as well as implanted ports, open and free-flowing
- Occlusion Prevention:
- Prevents blood clotting within the catheter tubing
- Line Maintenance:
- Used for routine flushing in hospitals, infusion centers, and home care settings
- Post-Infusion Flush:
- Flushes out residual medication after infusion therapy
Features
- 10mL Barrel Design:
- Although filled with only 3mL, the syringe has a standard 10mL diameter which reduces internal pressure during flushing, which helps prevent accidental catheter damage
- Pre-filled Convenience:
- Eliminates the need for manual preparation, saving time and reducing the risk of contamination
- Low-Dose Heparin:
- Contains 10 USP units/mL of porcelain-free heparin sodium, which is ideal for flushing
- BD Luer-Lok™ Tip:
- Securely connects to IV sets
- Clear Graduation Markings:
- 0.5mL graduations allow for accurate, consistent, and measured dosing
- Sterile & Preservative-Free:
- Sterile fluid pathway and non-toxic, preservative-free solution
Benefits
- Improved Patient Safety:
- Reduces the risk of catheter-related infections compared to manually prepared syringes
- Reduced Risk of Catheter Damage:
- The 10mL diameter minimizes pressure on the catheter, complying with standard clinical guidelines (e.g., PICC guidelines)
- Reduces Medication Errors:
- Pre-filled, consistent dosages prevent errors associated with manual compounding
- Optimal Performance:
- Engineered for a smooth plunger action to ensure reliable, controlled, and easy administration
- Efficiency:
- Streamlines nursing workflow by removing the need to fill syringes from vials
