- Used to maintain vascular access device (VAD) patency by preventing blood clots
Uses
- Maintaining Catheter Patency:
- Keeps IV catheters open and flowing freely by preventing blood from clotting inside the line
- Locking Vascular Access Devices:
- Used to "lock" the device after use, according to institutional protocols
- Flushing Before/After Medications:
- Helps ensure complete drug delivery and prevents incompatibility between medications
Features

- 100 USP units/mL Heparin (500 units/5mL fill)
- Preservative-Free:
- Does not contain preservatives, reducing potential patient irritation
- Sterile & Pyrogen-Free:
- Ensures safety for patient use
- BD Luer-Lok Tip:
- Secure connection for preventing leakage and contamination
- Consistent Barrel Diameter:
- 10mL barrel design helps lower injection pressure to reduce catheter damage
- Color-Coded:
- Yellow label and tip cap for easy identification of heparin concentration
