Description

Designed for use across various medical settings such as hospitals, clinics, and emergency departments, it aims to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries and blood exposure.

Key Features

• Passive Safety Mechanism: The integrated needle shield encapsulates the needle tip post-use, significantly reducing accidental needlestick injuries and blood splatter.
• Ported Design: Equipped with a 'snap-cap' to support non-touch technique, preventing accidental opening.
• Sharp Needle Technology: Features a back-cut, sharp needle for easier penetration, enhancing patient comfort and improving skin and vein entry.

Design and Materials

• Flexible Wings: Provides stabilization and securement for comfortable placement.
• Ergonomic Grip: Accommodates various user techniques during insertion.
• Visual Confirmation: Transparent flashback chamber and optional BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology offer immediate visual confirmation of vessel entry.
• Removable Vent Cap: Adds flexibility in use.

The catheter is made from BD Vialon™, a radiopaque, biocompatible polyurethane that softens in the vein, allowing for longer dwell times and reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis.
