Description

The Catheter, IV, Protect Plus-W IV 18Gx1 is engineered for optimal safety and efficiency in intravenous access procedures. This catheter features a manual needle retraction system designed to enhance user protection against accidental needle sticks. As the catheter is advanced, a built-in needle guard fully encases the needle, providing a secure barrier that minimizes risks during insertion.

Constructed from OCRILON® polyurethane, this catheter offers flexibility and durability, ensuring smooth insertion and reliable performance. The catheter is designed for one-handed threading, facilitated by a push-off tab that allows healthcare professionals to maintain a safe hand position behind the needle until it is securely locked within the needle guard.

The Protect Plus-W IV catheter is color-coded by gauge, simplifying identification and selection during procedures. This feature aids healthcare providers in quickly choosing the appropriate catheter size for their patients, contributing to efficient workflow in clinical settings.

The option of a winged hub enhances taping and securement, further improving the overall functionality of the catheter. This IV catheter is an essential tool for medical professionals seeking a combination of safety, ease of use, and reliable performance in intravenous therapy.

These systems feature a choice of catheter materials and a fully encased needle protection design for smooth insertion. As the PROTECTIV catheter is advanced, a built-in needle guard encases the entire needle to help protect you against accidental needle sticks. A push-off tab facilitates one-handed threading to help you keep your hand behind the needle until it is safely locked within the needle guard. A click confirms that it has been secured. Choose PROTECTIV catheters made of PTFE material or PROTECTIV Plus catheters made of Ocrilon polyurethane. Both systems are also available with a winged hub for easier taping and securement.
