Description

The ViaValve Safety IV Catheter, featuring a Straight Hub and constructed with Polyurethane material, offers a reliable solution for intravenous access in medical settings. With a gauge size of 20G and a length of 1 inch, this catheter ensures efficient fluid delivery with a flow rate of 65 mL per minute. Equipped with a FLASH-VUE Needle, it provides clinicians with clear visual confirmation upon insertion, reducing the likelihood of multiple attempts and enhancing patient comfort.

Incorporating innovative V-point technology, these safety IV catheters aim to minimize patient discomfort and venous trauma during insertion, promoting a smoother experience for both patients and healthcare providers. The blood-containment valve helps prevent blood leakage during catheter setup, minimizing the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and reducing the potential for contamination.

Furthermore, clinician-controlled forward shielding needle encapsulation enhances safety by reducing the risk of needlestick injuries during catheter insertion and removal. The inclusion of flash technology and a FLASH-VUE early flash indicator on specific gauge sizes ensures accurate placement of the catheter on the first attempt, optimizing procedural efficiency and patient care. Additionally, the color-coded hub facilitates quick identification of the correct needle size, streamlining the setup process and ensuring accurate selection in busy clinical environments.
