Common Uses
This is a very common, general-purpose I.V. catheter. Its primary use is to establish peripheral intravenous access (starting an "I.V. line") in adults and older children.
The 20 Gauge size is a versatile choice, often used for:
Routine I.V. hydration (administering fluids)
Administering most common I.V. medications
Giving blood transfusions (though a larger 18G is often preferred if rapid transfusion is needed)
Starting arterial lines for blood pressure monitoring in some clinical settings
