Additional Information

Description

The intravenous catheter is engineered with an FEP polymer body that delivers controlled rigidity and smooth advancement for dependable peripheral access. Its 24-gauge diameter and 3/4-inch length support use in patients requiring a smaller entry profile, including pediatric, geriatric, and delicate-vein applications. The radiopaque stripe along the catheter wall enhances visualization under imaging, enabling precise assessment of intravascular placement when required in clinical workflows.

A universal back-cut bevel is integrated into the stainless-steel needle design to facilitate efficient penetration with reduced insertion force. This geometry supports predictable tissue entry and stable catheter advancement. The removable vented flashplug allows controlled visualization of blood return during access, aiding early recognition of successful vessel entry. Double flashback technology provides simultaneous visualization through both needle and catheter, supporting accurate placement and reducing repeated attempts.

The catheter maintains a flow rate of 22 mL per minute and is engineered to withstand pressures up to 300 psi, allowing compatibility with standard infusion protocols while maintaining structural integrity. The thin-wall needle design improves flow capability while preserving a small outer diameter. The winged plastic hub enhances grip and stability during insertion, supporting controlled positioning in sensitive vascular locations.
