How does the blood control feature work?
The device includes an active check valve that automatically inhibits blood flow as soon as the needle is removed. This design is specifically intended to reduce the risk of blood exposure during the catheter insertion process.
Is this catheter suitable for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex. Additionally, it is non-pyrogenic and DEHP-free, making it a safe choice for a wide variety of patients.
