B. Braun Introcan Safety FEP Straight IV Catheter

Introcan Safety IV Catheter – Straight Features

• Promote First Stick Success:
  • The innovative Double Flashback technology allows separate confirmation of both needle and catheter placement, which can result in better first stick success and greater clinician confidence
  • New Thinwall technology in 24 Ga. catheters is designed to speed flashback of blood to help confirm placement in patients
  • It is easier to introduce into the vein compared to the leading IV catheter
  
  
• Reduce Needlestick Injuries: passive safety designs offer 2-3 times better protection against accidental needlesticks than active designs


• Ensure Best Practices: The passive safety design ensures that the safety mechanism is always activated and prevents re-insertion of the stylet


• Improve Patient Comfort: The sharp needle features a Universal Bevel that is designed for a wider choice of insertion angles and produces less tearing


• Designed to promote easy access for catheter insertion:
  • Universal Bevel Needle has a unique back-cut design that is designed to produce a tricuspid incision for insertion
  • It is also designed for a wide variety of insertion angles for deep and superficial vascular access
  
  
• Help the Environment: Lighter, more compact design can potentially lower shipping, storage and waste disposal costs


• The Passive Safety Shield: The shield automatically covers the needle tip upon needle withdrawal with no need for user activation.


• Removable flashplug: The removable vented flashplug permits attachment of a syringe


• Helps to cut costs and “go green”:
  • Generate less waste with smaller, lighter components
  • Designed to save money and avoid throwing away unused components (compared to integrated catheters)
  • Helps to cut costs by reducing needlesticks, materials, and waste
  
  
• Designed to enable longer in-dwelling:
  • Catheters are available in polyurethane (PUR) which provides softer in-dwelling performance,3 or fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) with firmer construction for arterial access.
  • They are not made with DEHP or natural rubber latex
