Frequently asked questions
Does the needle design minimize patient discomfort?
Yes, patient comfort is a priority. The Surflo catheter incorporates a medical-grade lubricant that facilitates smoother tissue penetration, significantly reducing discomfort during the insertion process.
Is the catheter material flexible and durable?
Absolutely. It is constructed from ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), a high-performance material specifically chosen for its excellent balance of flexibility, kink resistance, and durability within clinical environments.
Can I easily confirm successful vein entry?
Yes, the catheter is equipped with a dedicated preview chamber. This feature allows for immediate visual confirmation of blood flashback, ensuring accurate and confident vessel entry for the clinician.
Is this catheter suitable for X-ray procedures?
Yes, the device is fully radiopaque. This ensures it is clearly visible under X-ray imaging, allowing for proper tracking and confirmation of placement in clinical settings.
Does the design support reliable fluid flow rates?
The catheter features a thin-wall design, which provides a larger internal diameter (0.64 mm ID). This engineering choice is essential for maintaining consistent and reliable fluid flow during therapy.
Are harmful chemicals like DEHP used in manufacturing?
No, this product is not made with DEHP. Terumo Medical ensures that this catheter is manufactured without the use of this phthalate, prioritizing safety for patient care.
Is the needle engineered for precise tissue penetration?
Yes, it features a stainless steel double-bevel needle. This design is specifically engineered to minimize tissue trauma and ensure clean, precise penetration during venipuncture.
What does the pink color code signify?
In accordance with industry standards, the pink-colored hub serves as the universal color-coded size indicator specifically denoting a 20-gauge needle, allowing for rapid identification by medical staff.
Is this intended for single-use clinical application?
Yes, this is a sterile, disposable medical device. It is designed for use by professional medical personnel in clinical settings to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and infection control.
Is the catheter construction optimized for professional clinical use?
It is designed for high-performance clinical applications, including: <ul><li>Hospitals</li><li>Surgical centers</li><li>Clinical outpatient IV therapy</li></ul> The non-safety, non-blood control design is tailored for standard venipuncture techniques performed by trained professionals.
