Description

The Introcan IV Catheter with Safety, 18Gx1 1/4, is a medical device designed for intravenous access with a focus on safety during insertion and use. This catheter features an 18-gauge size and a 1 1/4-inch length, providing a balance between easy venipuncture and suitable catheter size.

The inclusion of safety features in the design is intended to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries for healthcare professionals. The safety mechanism is typically activated after the catheter is withdrawn from the patient, covering the needle and minimizing the potential for accidental needle exposure.

The 18-gauge size is suitable for various medical applications, and the 1 1/4-inch length is often appropriate for patients requiring intravenous therapy. Healthcare professionals commonly use this type of IV catheter for fluid administration, medication delivery, and other intravenous interventions.

It is essential for healthcare providers to follow proper insertion and safety protocols when using the Introcan IV Catheter to ensure both patient and healthcare worker safety during intravenous procedures.
