Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter incorporate advanced safety features?
Yes. This device features a sliding safety lock mechanism. Once the catheter is advanced, the needle is fully retracted into the body, providing an audible click to confirm that the clinician is protected from accidental needlestick injuries.
Is the catheter designed for patient comfort?
Absolutely. It is engineered with a gently tapered tip that requires significantly less force during insertion. This design minimizes tissue trauma and ensures a smoother transition between the needle and the catheter.
Can clinicians achieve precise, one-handed insertion?
Yes, the design prioritizes ease-of-use with ergonomically contoured, corrugated grips and dedicated push-off tabs, allowing for steady, controlled, and precise one-handed advancement.
Does this device offer reliable vessel entry confirmation?
It features an enhanced flashback design that allows for clear and immediate confirmation of vessel entry directly along the needle shaft, helping clinicians confirm placement quickly.
Are the materials used in this catheter patient-safe?
Yes, the catheter is constructed with high-quality, DEHP-free polyurethane. Furthermore, it is made without natural rubber latex and is verified as non-pyrogenic.
Is the needle engineered for smooth penetration?
Yes, the needle features a triple-facet, back-cut, and polished beveled tip. This specific geometry is designed to facilitate smooth insertion across multiple angles.
Does the hub allow for stable connection to IV lines?
Yes, the straight hub is designed with a ridged surface, which provides superior stability and a secure grip when connecting the device to standard I.V. administration lines.
Is this catheter visible during medical imaging?
Yes, the material is radiopaque, ensuring the catheter remains visible and trackable during any necessary X-ray procedures.
What is the flow rate capacity for this gauge?
This 20-gauge catheter is rated for a flow rate of 61 mL / min, making it highly effective for routine intravenous fluid administration and blood sampling needs.
Is there any assembly required before use?
No. The product is sterile and ready for immediate clinical use right out of the individual packaging. It is a single-use, disposable device.
