Icu Medical Viavalve Safety Iv Catheter

The ViaValve Safety IV Catheter features a unique, integrated safety mechanism designed to provide essential blood control and reduce exposure risks during venous access:

• Blood Control Mechanism: A unique valve is built directly inside the catheter hub.
• Immediate Impeding of Flow: This valve automatically impedes the flow of blood from the patient’s vein immediately upon initial venipuncture.
• Reduced Contamination: By actively controlling blood and maintaining a cleaner access site, the device significantly helps reduce the risk of blood exposure and contamination for the caregiver.

This focused design helps prevent the potential transfer of bloodborne pathogens, enhancing safety protocols during IV procedures.

The ICU Medical ViaValve Safety IV Catheter is offered in a wide selection of sizes to suit diverse clinical requirements. All sizes include the proprietary blood control mechanism.

Available Configurations:

• Gauges (G): 14G, 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G, and 24G.
• Lengths (“): 5/8”, 1”, and 1¼”.

This variety allows healthcare professionals to choose the optimal size for flow rate and vascular access needs. A key feature of every configuration is the integrated ViaValve mechanism inside the catheter hub, which immediately impedes blood flow upon venipuncture, greatly reducing the risk of blood exposure and contamination for the caregiver.

Catheters are generally available in packaging quantities of 50 per box or 200 per case.

The ICU Medical Viavalve Safety IV Catheter is offered in a variety of gauges and corresponding lengths to accommodate diverse clinical requirements. The device uses color coding for easy identification.

The available configurations include:

• 16G x 1¼” (Grey)
• 18G x 1¼” (Green)
• 20G x 1”
• 20G x 1¼” (Pink)
• 22G x 1” (Blue)
• 24G x 5/8”

Yes, the Icu Medical Viavalve Safety IV Catheter is specifically engineered to provide essential blood control and enhanced safety during IV access procedures.

Its core feature is the unique ViaValve technology, an internal valve integrated within the catheter hub that is activated upon venipuncture. This valve system works to:

• Impede Blood Flow: The valve immediately restricts the outward flow of blood from the patient’s vein, reducing the risk of accidental exposure.
• Minimize Contamination: By maintaining a cleaner access site, the system helps prevent the potential transfer of bloodborne pathogens between the patient and the caregiver.

The ICU Medical ViaValve Safety IV Catheter is available in two primary packaging formats to suit varying clinical needs:

• Box (bx): Contains 50 units per box.
• Case (cs): Contains 200 units per case.

Depending on the specific gauge and length configuration selected, a case may be supplied as one bulk unit or comprised of four individual boxes of 50 units.

Yes, the Icu Medical Viavalve Safety IV Catheter is specifically engineered to enhance safety and actively reduce the risk of contamination and pathogen transfer.

Its core feature is the ViaValve technology, which utilizes a unique internal valve integrated into the catheter hub to provide essential blood control:

• Impedes Blood Flow: The valve immediately impedes blood flow from the patient’s vein upon venipuncture.
• Minimizes Exposure: This mechanism helps maintain a cleaner access site, significantly reducing the risk of blood exposure for the caregiver.
• Reduces Pathogen Risk: By minimizing exposure, the system assists in preventing the transfer of bloodborne pathogens between the patient and the healthcare provider.

The ICU Medical ViaValve™ Safety IV Catheter is ideal for use in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings requiring intravenous access, especially where minimizing blood exposure is critical.

The ICU Medical ViaValve Safety IV Catheter minimizes blood exposure using an integrated Blood Control Mechanism.

Its primary function relies on a unique feature:

• A specialized ViaValve is positioned inside the catheter hub.
• This valve actively works to impede immediate blood flow from the patient’s vein upon initial venipuncture.
• By controlling blood flow at the access site, the device helps maintain a cleaner procedural environment, which is crucial for reducing the risk of bloodborne pathogen transfer between the patient and caregiver.

The Viavalve Safety IV Catheter is offered in a wide range of gauges and lengths (from 14G to 24G) to accommodate diverse patient populations and clinical requirements. These different sizes allow clinicians to choose the optimal flow rate and length for each specific procedure.
