Frequently asked questions
Is the catheter made from high-quality ETFE material?
The flexible catheter component is constructed from ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene). This choice of material is crucial for optimizing the venipuncture process by offering both excellent flexibility and high flow characteristics:
- Flexibility and Smoothness: ETFE ensures the catheter is flexible, aiding in smoother insertion and gentle passage through tissue layers.
- Optimal Flow Rate: The catheter is engineered with a large inner diameter, which, combined with the ETFE material, assures excellent blood flow during procedures.
- Easier Penetration: The material works synergistically with the ultra-sharp double-bevel introducer needle and medical-grade lubricant to facilitate easier penetration and minimize tissue resistance.
Is the packaging secure and tamper-evident?
Yes, the Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are supplied in safe, easy-to-handle, tamper-evident packaging.
This crucial design feature ensures the product’s integrity and sterility assurance until the catheter is ready for clinical use.
Do these catheters feature a preview chamber?
Yes, the Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are designed with a specific feature for immediate placement confirmation.
This crucial element is the clear, sure-grip hub which contains a preview chamber. This chamber allows for immediate visual indication (flashback) of blood return, assuring the clinician that the catheter tip has been correctly placed in the vessel.
Do these SURFLO ETFE catheters use high-quality lubrication?
Yes, the SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are equipped with a medical-grade lubricant.
This lubricant is specifically applied to the ultra-sharp, double-bevel introducer needle to enhance the insertion process by:
- Minimizing resistance for easier penetration through tissue.
- Ensuring smoother travel of the needle and catheter.
What is the standard quantity per box?
The Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are consistently packaged to support high-volume usage, offering convenience for clinicians and facilities.<ul><li>Each standard box contains 50 individual IV catheters.</li><li>For bulk ordering, units are supplied in cases, with 4 boxes per case (totaling 200 catheters per case).</li></ul>
Are the IV catheters color-coded by gauge?
Yes, the Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters feature standard color-coding on the clear sure-grip hub, which allows for quick and easy identification of the gauge size. This ensures efficiency during clinical procedures.
| Gauge | Color |
|---|---|
| 14G | Orange |
| 16G | Gray |
| 18G | Green |
| 20G | Pink |
| 22G | Blue |
| 24G | Yellow |
Do these catheters offer optimal blood flow?
Yes, these Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are engineered for optimal blood flow and assured performance.
This is achieved primarily because the flexible catheter is designed with a large inner diameter, which maximizes fluid flow rates during intravenous access procedures.
What sizes are available for these catheters?
The Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are available in a wide range of sizes, designed with a flexible catheter and a large inner diameter to assure excellent blood flow. The available configurations include:
- Gauges: 14G, 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G, and 24G.
- Lengths: ¾”, 1”, 1¼”, 2”, and 2½”.
For rapid clinical identification, the hubs are color-coded based on the gauge:
| Gauge | Color Code |
|---|---|
| 14G | Orange |
| 16G | Gray |
| 18G | Green |
| 20G | Pink |
| 22G | Blue |
| 24G | Yellow |
These catheters are supplied in safe, tamper-evident packaging, typically configured as 50 units per box.
Is insertion easy and smooth?
Yes, the Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are specifically designed for exceptionally smooth and easy insertion, optimizing the process of establishing intravenous access.
Key features that ensure superior insertion performance include:
- Ultra-Sharp Needle: The device uses an ultra-sharp double-bevel introducer needle engineered for quick, clean penetration and minimal tissue resistance.
- Medical-Grade Lubricant: A specialized medical-grade lubricant is applied to the needle, which ensures exceptionally smooth travel through tissue layers.
- Placement Confirmation: The clear, sure-grip hub incorporates a preview chamber that provides immediate visual confirmation of proper vessel placement.
Is catheter insertion smooth and easy?
Yes, the Terumo SURFLO ETFE IV Catheters are specifically engineered for smooth, precise insertion, minimizing tissue trauma and improving clinical efficiency. This is achieved through several key features:
- Ultra-Sharp Double-Bevel Needle: The introducer needle is designed with an ultra-sharp, double-bevel tip to facilitate easier penetration and ensure smoother travel through tissue.
- Medical-Grade Lubricant: A high-quality medical-grade lubricant is used, which helps reduce friction and resistance during the insertion process.
- Instant Confirmation: The clear sure-grip hub includes a preview chamber, providing immediate visual confirmation of proper placement, thereby reducing the need for manipulation or repositioning.
