The BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheter With Blood Control Technology (Product Number: 382512) is a highly efficient and safe medical device designed to minimize the risk of blood exposure and needlestick injuries. It comes in a pack of 50, ensuring you have enough supply for multiple procedures.
This IV catheter is clinically proven to reduce the risk of blood exposure by 95%, thanks to its innovative blood control technology. This technology is designed to stop blood flow from the catheter hub at insertion, making it a safer choice for both healthcare professionals and patients.
The catheter features a blood leakage prevention septum, ensuring a clean and efficient process during IV placement. This reduces the need for venous compression during insertion, minimizes the risk of blood leakage, and provides needlestick injury protection.
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter is also designed for first-stick success. It incorporates BD Instaflash needle technology on the 20-G, 22-G, and 24-G sizes, which includes a notched needle to improve first-stick success and reduce painful hit-and-miss insertions.
Moreover, the catheter is made from BD Vialon biomaterial that softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.
The product comes in a yellow color and features a non-winged design. The catheter measures 0.75 inches in length, with a gauge of 24. It has a catheter ID of 0.4826 – 0.5588 mm, a catheter OD of 0.6604 – 0.7366 mm, a gravity flow rate of 20 mL/min, and does not have a high-pressure rating.
