Description

The Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded Winged IV Catheter, Pink, 20G x 1", is an advanced vascular access device designed to enhance patient safety while protecting healthcare providers. This catheter integrates Blood Control Technology, which minimizes blood leakage during insertion and reduces the potential for exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Its design supports safe and efficient venous access for a wide range of clinical procedures.

Equipped with a push-button shielding mechanism, the catheter significantly lowers the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. Upon activation, the needle is instantly retracted into a protective shield, ensuring secure containment. This safety feature not only improves clinical practice safety but also complies with occupational health standards for sharps protection.

The winged design provides improved stability and control during insertion, allowing clinicians to place the catheter with precision. Its 20-gauge size and 1-inch length make it suitable for adult patients requiring medium-flow intravenous therapy. The pink color coding follows international standards, enabling quick identification of size for efficient clinical decision-making.
