Key Features
-
Multi-Access Blood Control: The integrated septum is designed to control blood flow from the catheter hub throughout the life of the IV, reducing leakage and clinician exposure every time the hub is accessed.
-
Passive Safety Shield: The automatic safety mechanism shields the needle tip immediately upon withdrawal. It requires no user activation and cannot be bypassed, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlesticks.
-
Double Flashback Technology: Provides visual confirmation of both needle entry into the vein and subsequent catheter placement, increasing first-stick success rates.
-
Universal Bevel: Features a unique back-cut needle design intended to create a tricuspid incision, making insertion smoother and less painful for the patient.
-
Ergonomic Winged Hub: The wings provide a stable base for securement and a textured surface for improved grip during insertion and threading.
Clinical Applications
-
Pediatric & Neonatal Care: The small 24-gauge size is ideal for fragile veins in pediatric or elderly populations.
-
Emergency & Acute Care: Provides rapid, safe venous access while minimizing the cleanup of blood spills.
-
Infusion Therapy: Suitable for the delivery of fluids, medications, and blood products into the peripheral vasculature.
⚠️Usage Note: This is a closed-system catheter. Do not use if the unit package is damaged. Follow facility protocol for site preparation and catheter securement.
⚠️Power Injection: Always check specific manufacturer labeling for power injection PSI ratings if using with contrast media (typically 300 PSI for larger gauges, verify for 24G).
