Is high-quality catheter material used?
Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety 3 Catheter is constructed using high-quality materials focused on patient comfort and safety.
The primary material used for the catheter itself is Polyurethane (PUR). PUR is chosen for its excellent biocompatibility and enhanced durability.
In commitment to safety, the device is explicitly manufactured without several potentially harmful compounds or allergens:
- It is not made with DEHP.
- It is not made with PVC.
- It is not made with natural rubber (Latex).
Does the catheter have advanced safety features?
Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety 3 is specifically engineered with comprehensive safety features designed to protect both the patient and the clinician.
Key safety and stability features include:
- Passive Safety Needle Shield: This innovative mechanism is designed to automatically shield the needle upon withdrawal, actively aiding in the prevention of needlestick injuries.
- Multiple-Access Blood Control Septum: This system is critical for minimizing the risk of blood exposure during IV access and handling.
- Integrated Stabilization Platform: This feature enhances overall catheter stability post-insertion and helps minimize movement within the vessel.
Is the Introcan Safety 3 IV catheter sterile and latex-free?
Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter is engineered for high levels of safety and biocompatibility. It is certified as both sterile and free from common irritants.
- Sterility: The device is supplied sterile, utilizing the Ethylene Oxide (EO) method for sterilization. It also features a long total shelf life of 60 months.
- Material Safety: Crucially, the catheter is manufactured without natural rubber (latex), DEHP, or PVC, enhancing its safety profile for patient use.
- Catheter Construction: The body of the catheter is made from high-grade Polyurethane (PUR).
How many IV catheters are included per case?
Each case of the B. Braun Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter includes 200 individual IV catheters.
Does the catheter have a long shelf life?
Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter offers a significantly long shelf life, which aids in inventory management for clinical settings. The total shelf life is 60 months from the date of sterilization.
Is an integrated stabilization platform included?
Yes, the Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter is specifically engineered with enhanced stability features designed to minimize movement within the vessel, promoting greater security and patient comfort.The core stability feature is the Integrated Stabilization Platform, which is built directly into the catheter hub. This platform works to substantially improve catheter stability and reduce unwanted movement once the device is in place.
Does the design ensure stability and comfort?
The B. Braun Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter is specifically engineered to enhance both procedural stability and patient comfort through key design elements:
- Enhanced Stability: The system incorporates an integrated stabilization platform along with a winged hub design. These features improve overall catheter stability and minimize movement within the vessel.
