Key Components
Ergonomic Hub. The ergonomic hub reduces touch contamination and keeps the connection away from the patient's skin. It also allows for professionals to make easier IV connections.
Fully Automatic Passive Safety Shield. The catheter is designed with the Fully Automatic Passive Safety Shield that doesnt need to be manually activated. It cannot be bypassed, and when it is activated it prevents needlesticks.
Multi-Access Blood Control Septum. The multi-access blood control septum allows for blood collection, boluses, or set changes. It reduces leakage when the needle is removed or accessed, and minimizes blood exposure.
Double Flashback Technology. The double flashback feature promotes first-stick success. It provides a quick visual confirmation of vein puncture with separate needle and catheter flashback.
Integrated Stabilization Platform. The integrated stabilization platform is designed to improve catheter stability. It limits movement in the vein.
Universal Bevel. The universal bevel allows for flexibility of superficial or deep insertion angles. Its unique back-cut design produces a tricuspid incision for insertion.
Going Green
The Braun Introcan Safety 3 helps cut costs by generating less waste with smaller, lighter components than its competitors. In comparison to the size and weight of 25 activated safety catheter needles from other brands, Introcan came in weighing an ounce less than the next lightest competitor. The smaller size means that more needles fit in each sharps container, lowering expenses and reducing hospital supply waste for a smaller environmental footprint.
