Icu Medical Jelco Iv Catheters

Yes, the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are specifically engineered to optimize vein entry and enhance tactile feedback for the clinician. This reliable access is achieved through the combination of two specialized features:

• “J”-Point Needle Design: This proprietary configuration allows clinicians to accurately and easily feel the exact moment of vein entry.
• FEP Polymer Construction: The material of the catheter body works in conjunction with the needle design, delivering smooth placement and further assisting in improved tactile sensation.

Yes, the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are engineered for high-performance fluid handling.

They achieve superior flow rates due to a specialized thin wall catheter design.

• This construction allows for higher flow rates compared to standard wall catheters.
• This benefit potentially enables clinicians to use a smaller gauge device while maintaining the necessary flow rates for infusion or blood draw, optimizing patient comfort and care.

Yes, the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are constructed from FEP polymer, a high-quality material essential for superior performance and tactile feedback during clinical procedures. The FEP polymer construction delivers two key advantages:

• Enhanced Flow Rates: It facilitates a specialized thin wall catheter design, which provides higher flow rates compared to standard wall catheters. This often allows clinicians to utilize a smaller gauge device while meeting required flow demands.
• Superior Tactile Feedback: Combined with the unique “J”-point needle design, the FEP polymer gives clinicians excellent tactile feedback, allowing them to easily confirm successful vein entry when establishing I.V. access or starting arterial lines.

Yes, radiopaque catheter configurations are available, such as the Jelco Radiopaque Catheter option mentioned in the product line.

This feature is highly beneficial for clinicians because it allows the catheter to be clearly visualized under X-ray or fluoroscopy. This ensures:

• Accurate Placement Confirmation: Clinicians can verify the exact final position of the catheter within the blood vessel.
• Enhanced Safety: Improved visualization contributes to greater procedural safety and efficacy.

The ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are packaged in quantities designed for efficient clinical inventory management. While packaging may vary by specific configuration, common examples include:

• Box Quantity (bx): Configurations are typically packaged with 50 individual catheters per box.
• Case Quantity (cs): Cases usually contain 200 catheters, which corresponds to four boxes of 50 units each (4 bx/cs).

Yes, the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are specifically trusted by clinicians for establishing standard peripheral I.V. access and starting arterial lines.

Their design incorporates specialized features that make them highly effective for critical procedures:

• Superior Tactile Feedback: The FEP polymer construction and unique “J”-point needle design allow clinicians to easily feel vein entry during insertion.
• Enhanced Flow Rates: The thin wall catheter design provides significantly higher flow rates compared to standard wall catheters, often allowing for the use of a smaller gauge device.
• Optional Securement: Available winged catheter options feature flexible wings that conform to site contours for more secure attachment, beneficial for active patients.

Yes, the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are available in optional winged catheter variants. These flexible wings are specifically designed to:

• Contour to the insertion site for enhanced securement.
• Ensure a more stable attachment, which is particularly beneficial for active patients.

The ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are manufactured in the US.

Yes, the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are available in a comprehensive range of gauges and lengths to meet diverse clinical requirements for peripheral I.V. access.

Key sizing options include:

• Gauges: 14G, 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G, and 24G.
• Lengths: Available in configurations ranging from ¾” up to 1¾”.

Additionally, the thin wall catheter design allows for higher flow rates compared to standard wall catheters. This benefit can potentially enable the use of a smaller gauge device for the desired application.

Yes, specific variants of the ICU Medical Jelco IV Catheters are available “w/out Safety” feature, offering options based on clinical preference and need.
