Introcan Safety IV Catheters (PUR) are made with polyurethane for softer in-dwelling performance. Braun Medical, Introcan Safety IV Catheters are available in several options to meet individual needs. 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 to facilitate special procedures. Both PUR IV Catheters are available in Straight Catheters or Winged Catheter options. Each option provides a passive safety shield to protect against accidental needle sticks and facilitates one-handed operation. A built-in removable flash plug permits the attachment of a syringe for aspiration or other special procedures.
Safety IV Catheters protect caregivers and patients during the blood drawing process, including needle insertion, catheter deployment, and needle removal. The safety devices on these IV Catheters are passive, requiring no activation on the user's part. Activated automatically, the Introcan Safety IV Catheter cannot be by-passed to cause an accidental stick injury. These Safety IV Catheters have a sharp universal bevel, reducing the patient's pain. Designed with a back-cut bevel, the needle geometry offers more comfortable insertions. A back-cut incision offers a highly flexible pathway and provides easier catheter insertion with less tearing and faster healing. Introcan Safety IV Catheters save time and incur no uncomfortable safety steps found in competitor safety designs. Unlike many competitors designed Safety IV Catheters, the Introcan Safety IV Catheters guard against delayed activations or activation failures. 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.
