Description

The IV Catheter, Introcan with Safety 20Gx1, incorporates advanced features designed to enhance safety and efficiency in vascular access procedures. It is equipped with a Passive Safety shield that automatically covers the needle tip upon withdrawal, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries without requiring user activation. This feature is crucial in healthcare settings where safety is paramount, ensuring protection for both patients and healthcare providers.

The catheter features a Universal bevel needle with a unique back-cut design, facilitating a tricuspid incision for smooth insertion across a range of vascular depths and angles. This design optimizes ease of use for both deep and superficial vascular access, enhancing procedural flexibility and minimizing patient discomfort during catheter placement.

Utilizing Double Flashback technology, the catheter provides visual confirmation during insertion and placement. Needle flash confirms entry into the vein, while catheter flash confirms proper positioning, ensuring accurate and reliable vascular access. This dual confirmation mechanism enhances procedural confidence and reduces the likelihood of placement errors.

Constructed with firmer materials, specifically fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), the catheter is suitable for arterial access, offering durability and stability required for such procedures. Its color-coded hub enables quick identification of the catheter size, streamlining workflow and ensuring accurate selection during clinical use.
