Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter help prevent needlestick injuries?
Yes, this device is engineered with an advanced push-button retraction mechanism. Once activated, the needle is fully encased within the catheter body, and an audible ‘click’ confirms that the needle is securely locked away to protect clinicians.
How does the blood control technology work?
The catheter features an integrated active check valve. This system inhibits blood flow automatically upon activation of the safety mechanism, which significantly helps minimize the risk of exposure to patient blood during the procedure.
Is this catheter comfortable for patients?
Patient comfort is a priority in this design. The needle features a triple-facet, back-cut, beveled tip which is specifically engineered to provide a smoother, more comfortable insertion compared to standard needles.
Is this product latex-free?
Yes. The McKesson Prevent R catheter is not made with natural rubber latex. It is also DEHP-free and non-pyrogenic, ensuring it is safe for use in a wide variety of clinical environments.
Is the catheter visible on X-rays?
Yes, it is constructed with radiopaque materials, ensuring that it is clearly visible and compatible with imaging procedures should you need to verify placement.
Can this be used with one hand?
Yes, the design incorporates a push-off tab specifically to facilitate easy one-handed advancement, making the insertion process more efficient for the clinician.
Does the hub offer good stability?
The catheter is equipped with a winged hub design. This provides a stable, flat platform that makes it much easier to tape the device down and maintain secure stabilization during the infusion.
How do I know when I have successfully entered the vein?
This model includes a clear flashback chamber, which allows for immediate visual confirmation of successful vein entry during the insertion process.
What is the pressure rating for this catheter?
This 22-gauge catheter has a pressure rating of 300 psi and a flow rate of 36 mL/min, making it suitable for standard peripheral IV therapy applications.
Are these individually sterile-packaged?
Yes, each catheter is provided in individual sterile packaging. They are sold in boxes of 50 packs, with 4 boxes per case.
