INTRAVENOUS CATHETER INSYTE VIALON BIOMATERIAL AUTOGUARD 16GA 45MM STRAIGHT HUB GREY is a high-performance peripheral IV catheter designed for rapid and reliable vascular access. Constructed from BD Vialon™, a proprietary biomaterial, the catheter provides excellent flexibility, biocompatibility, and strength, reducing the risk of vein irritation and catheter-related complications. The straight hub and 45 mm catheter length allow secure placement in larger peripheral veins, supporting high-volume fluid administration and various infusion therapies.

The Autoguard™ needle shielding device ensures safety by instantly retracting the needle with the push of a button, minimizing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. The notched stainless steel needle and push-button safety mechanism allow precise vessel entry while maintaining operator safety. The design supports controlled insertion, reducing the need for multiple IV attempts and improving clinical outcomes.

With a 200 mL/min flow rate and 1.359 mm inner diameter, the catheter accommodates rapid fluid administration and transfusions. The radiopaque design permits X-ray visibility for verification, while the catheter is non-blood-control and disposable for single-patient use. The straight plastic hub enables seamless connection to standard IV sets or extension tubing.
