Description

The Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System, 18G x 1.25" is designed for safe, precise, and efficient intravenous therapy. Constructed from Vialon biomaterial, the catheter provides durability, flexibility, and biocompatibility while reducing irritation to the vessel. Its 18-gauge size, 1.25-inch length, and optimized internal (0.81 mm ID) and outer diameter (1.31 mm OD) allow for effective fluid delivery with a flow rate of 84 mL/min. The system is sterile, disposable, and radiopaque, ensuring single-use safety and visibility during imaging procedures.

The system features passive needle-shielding technology, which engages automatically upon needle withdrawal to reduce the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries. Instaflash Needle Technology provides immediate visual confirmation of vessel entry, reducing insertion attempts and improving accuracy. This allows healthcare providers to focus on precise catheter placement while minimizing patient discomfort.

The soft, flexible stabilization platform integrated into the catheter enhances comfort and reduces movement within the vessel, minimizing irritation and the risk of dislodgement. The winged hub design supports secure handling and optimal stabilization during insertion and therapy. Dual port capability with needleless connectors allows safe administration of fluids and medications while maintaining closed-system integrity.
