The BD 383519 Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System Single Port is a technologically advanced medical device designed to enhance patient care and improve clinical efficiency. This system features an 18-gauge, 1.25-inch catheter, colored green for easy identification. Made from BD Vialon Biomaterial, the catheter softens up to 70% in the vein, allowing for longer dwell times and reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.
The system includes integrated extension tubing and a stabilization platform, designed to minimize movement at the insertion site, thereby reducing the risk of dislodgement and phlebitis by up to 50%. The BD Nexiva catheter also significantly reduces blood exposure during insertion, enhancing safety for both patients and healthcare professionals.
In a randomized study, the BD Nexiva IV catheter demonstrated a median dwell time of 144.5 hours, compared to 96 hours for an open system. This longer dwell time can potentially decrease the patient’s length of stay and ensure timely medication administration.
The BD 383519 Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System Single Port is sold in a case of 80, with 20 units per box. This product is intended for single-use and requires a prescription. It does not contain natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex allergies.
