$244.95

Description

Passive Safety Mechanism: This is a primary feature designed to protect healthcare workers from needlestick injuries. The safety mechanism automatically deploys as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter, and it cannot be bypassed or re-inserted.
Multi-Access Blood Control: The catheter hub is designed with a blood control feature that helps to minimize blood exposure and spillage during the entire IV process, including insertion and accessing the hub. This helps to reduce the risk of bloodborne pathogen exposure and can save on cleanup time and materials.
Double Flashback Technology: This feature provides visual confirmation of successful vein entry in two stages:
1. A "flashback" of blood in the needle's flashback chamber, confirming the needle has entered the vessel.
2. A second flashback between the catheter and the cannula, confirming the catheter is properly placed. This is designed to improve first-stick success rates.
Universal Bevel: The sharp needle is designed with a universal bevel geometry that allows for a wider range of insertion angles, which can make the venipuncture more comfortable for the patient.
Materials: It is made of polyurethane (PUR) and is free of DEHP, latex, and PVC.
