Description

The Insyte Autoguard™ BC Shielded Winged IV Catheter, Blue, 22G x 1", is designed to enhance clinical safety and improve intravenous access performance. It incorporates integrated Blood Control Technology that minimizes blood exposure during insertion, reducing the risk of bloodborne pathogen transmission and improving infection control practices.

This catheter features a push-button needle shielding mechanism that activates immediately after use, reducing the likelihood of accidental needlestick injuries. The shield automatically covers the needle with one-handed activation, promoting sharps safety and compliance with needle safety regulations.

The winged design offers added stability during insertion and securement, particularly beneficial for patients with fragile or mobile veins. The 22-gauge size and 1-inch length provide versatility in adult and pediatric patient populations, balancing flow rate and patient comfort for routine IV therapy, fluid administration, and medication delivery.
