Description

The intravenous catheter is designed with an FEP polymer construction that delivers controlled stiffness and smooth insertion characteristics for dependable peripheral vascular access. Its 20-gauge diameter and 1-1/4-inch length support efficient fluid administration while maintaining stable performance across a wide range of clinical procedures. A radiopaque stripe integrated into the catheter wall enhances imaging visibility, supporting accurate assessment of placement and ongoing monitoring when required.

A universal back-cut bevel is engineered to optimize vessel entry through reduced penetration force and consistent needle trajectory. This bevel geometry assists in precise alignment during advancement and contributes to improved insertion efficiency. The removable vented flashplug allows controlled visualization of blood return during initial access, supporting confirmation of vessel entry and minimizing uncontrolled flashback.

The device supports a flow rate of 60 mL per minute and maintains structural integrity under pressures up to 300 psi, allowing compatibility with a range of infusion therapies, including moderate-pressure protocols. The stainless-steel bevel needle and straight plastic hub combine to provide secure handling and procedural stability. DEHP-free materials align with clinical safety requirements and support use among sensitive patient populations.
