Description

The Introcan Safety IV Catheter with a straight hub is a medical device engineered to provide reliable vascular access with enhanced safety and precision. Designed with a 24G x ¾” thin-wall needle, this catheter ensures minimal patient discomfort during insertion while maintaining optimal flow rates. The catheter features a Universal Bevel, a new back-cut bevel design that facilitates smooth and efficient vein penetration, reducing the risk of tissue trauma and enhancing first-stick success rates.

A key safety feature of the Introcan Safety IV Catheter is its passive safety clip. This mechanism automatically engages after the needle is withdrawn, significantly reducing the risk of needlestick injuries to healthcare providers. Unlike active safety devices that require manual activation, the passive clip provides seamless protection without requiring additional steps, ensuring ease of use and compliance with safety protocols.

The catheter is equipped with a removable vented flashplug that provides instant visual confirmation of successful vein access. This feature minimizes the risk of blood exposure and enhances the efficiency of the catheterization process. The radiopaque stripe on the catheter improves visibility under imaging, aiding in accurate placement and monitoring within the vascular system.

Constructed with fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), the catheter offers durability and flexibility, ensuring stable placement during use. Its straight hub design provides a secure grip for easy handling, making it suitable for a variety of clinical applications, including pediatric and geriatric patients with fragile veins.
