The BD 381434 – IV Catheter, 20G x 1.16″, Pink, 50/bx, 4 bx/cs is a technologically advanced and safety-oriented medical device, designed to reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. This catheter is part of the trusted BD Insyte Autoguard shielded IV catheter range and features a push button for instant needle retraction post-use.
One of the unique features of this catheter is the BD Instaflash needle technology, which includes a notched needle that allows for easy visualization of blood return along the catheter. This can potentially improve first stick success by providing immediate confirmation of vessel entry.
The catheter is made from BD Vialon biomaterial, which is known to soften up to 70% once inside the vein. This property allows for longer dwell times and reduces the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%. Clinical studies have shown that IV catheters made from BD Vialon biomaterial are easier to insert and lead to improved patient outcomes.
The BD 381434 Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheter is a single-use device and does not contain natural rubber latex. It is sterilized using radiation and is intended for prescription use. It is pink in color, making it easily identifiable, and comes in a packaging of 50 catheters per box, with 4 boxes per case. Please note that the product labeling does not contain MRI safety information.
