Introcan Safety IV Catheter (FEP) - 24g, 22g, 20g, 18g, 16g

Overview: Introcan Safety IV Catheters by B. Braun

B Braun Introcan Safety IV Catheters (sizes: 24g, 22g, 20g, 18g) protect caregivers and patients during the blood drawing process from needle insertion, to catheter deployment to needle removal. The safety device is passive, requiring no activation on the part of the user. Activated automatically, the Introcan Safety IV Catheter cannot be bypassed to cause an accidental stick injury. Unlike many competitor designed Safety IV Catheters, the Introcan Safety IV Catheters guard against delayed activations or activation failures. These safety IV catheters have a sharp universal bevel, reducing the patient pain. Designed with a back-cut bevel, the needle geometry offers more comfortable insertions. Back-cut incision offers a highly flexible pathway, provides easier catheter insertion with less tearing and faster healing. This design also allows insertion without the high angle typically required of other needle designs. Introcan IV Catheters offers more flexibility and choice of angles for accessing difficult veins.

Introcan Safety IV Catheters save time and incur no uncomfortable safety steps found in competitor safety designs. Manufactured by B. Braun, Introcan Safety IV Catheters are available in several different options to meet individual needs. Select from polyurethane (PUR) or FEP Catheters. PUR Catheters afford greater flexibility for a softer and more comfortable in-dwelling while FEP Catheters have a firmer construction for easier arterial access and special procedures. Select between Straight Catheters or Winged Catheters. Each option provides a passive safety shield to protect against accidental needle sticks and facilitates one-handed operation. A removable flashplug permits attachment of a syringe for aspiration or other special procedures. Catheters are lubricated for greater comfort.
