Introcan Safety Peripheral IV Catheter 22 Gauge 1 Inch Sliding Safety Needle, Winged Hub 50/Box

The B Braun Introcan Safety Peripheral IV Catheter is a type of medical device used to access a patient's veins for intravenous (IV) therapy. It is designed with a 22 gauge, 1 inch sliding safety needle attached to a winged hub, making it easy for healthcare professionals to insert into the patient's vein. The winged hub provides stability during insertion and allows for easy removal once the catheter is in place.

The safety feature of this catheter is its sliding needle, which stays locked within the catheter until it is securely inserted into the vein. This helps prevent needlestick injuries to healthcare workers and reduces the risk of accidental needle exposure to patients. The catheter also has a soft, flexible tip to reduce trauma during insertion and is made of biocompatible material to minimize the risk of infection.

The 50/Box pack provides healthcare facilities with a convenient and cost-effective option for stocking these safety IV catheters. They are commonly used for short-term IV therapy and are suitable for both pediatric and adult patients. Overall, the B Braun Introcan Safety Peripheral IV Catheters offer a safe and efficient option for accessing a patient's veins for IV therapy.

Although safety devices were introduced over a decade ago, preventing needlestick injuries continues to be a major concern. With the B. Braun Introcan Safety® IV Catheter, you are protected by a truly passive safety device that is activated automatically and cannot be by-passed. No extra steps are required to ensure healthcare worker and patient safety.

This easy-to-use safety IV catheter incorporates separate needle and catheter flashback - Double Flashback technology - that gives you the added confidence of successful placement every time. The sharp needle features a Universal Bevel geometry that allows a wider choice of insertion angles, which is designed to make the catheter easy to adapt to and venipuncture more comfortable for patients. And with less plastic content than other safety IV catheters, you can potentially reduce storage space and medical waste
