Description

B. Braun Introcan Safety Winged IV Catheters (200 per Case) incorporate innovative Double Flashback technology which separates needle and catheter flashback to increase the likelihood of successful placement every time. Featuring a preferred passive safety design with built-in securement, each catheter is protected by a truly passive safety device that is activated automatically and cannot be by-passed. In fact, no extra steps are required to ensure healthcare worker and patient safety.

Each needle is extremely sharp and features Universal Bevel geometry to provide a wider choice of insertion angles that make the catheter easy to adapt to and venipuncture more comfortable for patients. And, thanks to using less plastic content than other safety IV catheters, Introcan Safety Winged IV Catheters are environmentally friendly.

Frequently asked questions

How does Double Flashback improve placement success?
<p>The innovative <strong>Double Flashback technology</strong> is designed specifically to significantly increase the likelihood of successful peripheral IV placement on the very first attempt.</p>

<p>This is achieved by providing two separate, sequential visual confirmations of vascular access:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Needle Flashback:</strong> Confirms that the needle has successfully entered the patient’s vein (venipuncture).</li>
<li><strong>Catheter Flashback:</strong> Confirms that the catheter itself has been correctly advanced and is properly seated within the vessel.</li>
</ul>

<p>By separating these indicators, clinicians receive clear, sequential feedback, which enhances placement accuracy and promotes faster, more confident IV initiation.</p>
What sizes and gauges are available?
<p>The B. Braun Introcan Safety Winged IV Catheter is offered in a comprehensive range of gauge (Ga) and length configurations, ranging from <strong>14 Ga up to 24 Ga</strong>, designed to maximize successful venipuncture and enhance patient comfort.Available size options include a variety of gauges and lengths:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>14 Ga:</strong> 2 in</li>
<li><strong>16 Ga:</strong> 2 in</li>
<li><strong>18 Ga:</strong> 1.25 in, 1.75 in</li>
<li><strong>20 Ga:</strong> 1 in, 1.25 in</li>
<li><strong>22 Ga:</strong> 1 in</li>
<li><strong>24 Ga:</strong> 0.55 in (including Notched and Thinwall options), 0.75 in</li>
</ul>

<p>Depending on the specific variant chosen, the catheter material is either <strong>Polyurethane (PUR)</strong> or <strong>Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP)</strong>.</p>
Are the catheter materials free of DEHP, PVC, and latex?
<p>Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety Winged IV Catheters are manufactured to prioritize patient and user safety regarding material composition. They are confirmed to be free of several common sensitizing or undesirable materials:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>DEHP</strong> (Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate)</li>
<li><strong>PVC</strong> (Polyvinyl chloride)</li>
<li><strong>Natural rubber latex</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>This commitment to quality materials helps ensure patient comfort and suitability for medical environments focused on eliminating these substances.</p>
Does Universal Bevel geometry improve patient comfort?
<p>Yes, the <strong>Universal Bevel geometry</strong> is specifically designed to improve patient comfort during venipuncture. Combined with extremely sharp needles, this geometry allows for a <strong>wider choice of insertion angles</strong>, which helps promote first stick success and ensures a smoother, less traumatic insertion experience.</p>
Is the passive safety feature non-bypassable?
<p>Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety Catheter uses a <strong>preferred passive safety design</strong> that is engineered to be <strong>truly non-bypassable</strong>.</p>

<p>This built-in mechanism provides reliable protection against needlestick injuries by:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Activation:</strong> The safety device engages automatically upon withdrawing the needle, which eliminates the need for manual activation.</li>
<li><strong>Non-Overridable Securement:</strong> The built-in securement feature <strong>cannot be bypassed or overridden</strong>, ensuring consistent and dependable defense during every procedure.</li>
</ul>
Are high-quality catheter materials used?
<p>Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety catheter uses materials chosen for patient comfort, safety, and high performance. The materials are also selected with environmental responsibility in mind.</p>

<p>Key material highlights include:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Catheter Options:</strong> Variants are available with the catheter material being either high-quality <strong>Polyurethane (PUR)</strong> or <strong>Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP)</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Safety and Biocompatibility:</strong> The device is manufactured <strong>without DEHP, PVC, or natural rubber latex</strong>, helping to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.</li>
<li><strong>Environmental Design:</strong> This product is considered an environmentally friendly option because it utilizes <strong>less plastic content</strong> compared to other safety IV catheters.</li>
</ul>
Do these catheters have a long shelf life?
<p>Yes, the B. Braun Introcan Safety Winged IV Catheters have a total shelf life of <strong>60 months</strong> from the date of sterilization (Ethylene Oxide, EO).</p>
Are these catheters a greener choice for healthcare?
<p>Yes, these catheters are designed to be <strong>environmentally friendly</strong> as they contain less plastic compared to other safety IV catheters, contributing to a reduced ecological footprint.</p>
