Additional Information

Description

The intravenous catheter is constructed from medical-grade polyurethane, providing balanced flexibility and structural stability for peripheral vascular access. Its 18-gauge diameter and 44.45 mm length support high-flow applications, enabling rapid fluid delivery in urgent and routine clinical settings. A radiopaque stripe along the catheter wall enhances visibility under imaging, supporting accurate assessment and placement verification.

The needle incorporates a universal back-cut bevel designed to facilitate controlled vessel entry with reduced insertion force. This geometry supports smooth penetration through tissue layers and assists in maintaining a stable trajectory during catheter advancement. The removable vented flashplug allows controlled flashback flow during initial placement. Double flashback technology provides visual confirmation through both needle and catheter, improving placement accuracy.

The device is engineered to support a flow rate of 100 mL per minute and withstand pressures up to 300 psi, enabling its use in power-assisted or high-volume infusion protocols. The stainless-steel needle and straight plastic hub ensure stability and ergonomic handling throughout the insertion process. DEHP-free and latex-free materials support use across a wide patient population, including individuals with sensitivities.
