Description

The Suresite IV Slide Safety Catheter, 20G x 1-1/4", by Distributor is a high-quality device designed for intravenous access. This catheter features a slide-retraction polyurethane body with a self-sheathing shield. As the catheter is advanced, the shield automatically encases the needle, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries. This feature enhances the safety of both healthcare providers and patients during the insertion process.

Equipped with a clicking lock mechanism, the catheter ensures sharps protection throughout the disposal process. This mechanism securely locks the needle in place, preventing accidental exposure and promoting a safer environment. The safety features are critical in minimizing the chances of needle-stick incidents in medical settings.

The contoured housing of the catheter includes corrugated grips that facilitate easy handling. This design ensures a secure grip, even in challenging clinical environments. The catheter also incorporates a push-off tab that allows for one-handed threading, improving the efficiency and convenience of the insertion procedure.
