The BD 381412 – IV Catheter, 24G x “, Yellow, 50/bx, 4 bx/cs is a state-of-the-art medical device designed with a focus on safety and efficiency. Part of the renowned BD Insyte Autoguard shielded IV catheter range, this catheter comes equipped with a push button for immediate needle retraction, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.
A standout feature of this catheter is its notched needle technology, which enables easy visualization of blood return along the catheter. This feature can potentially improve first stick success by providing instant confirmation of vessel entry. Designed to enhance safety, increase first-stick success, and minimize phlebitis, this catheter uses BD’s innovative push-button needle shielding technology, which has been proven to reduce needlestick injuries by an impressive 95%.
Constructed with BD Vialon biomaterial, the catheter softens up to 70% once inside the vein, allowing for extended dwell times and reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%. The catheter is yellow in color, with a 24-gauge and a length of 0.75 inches. It features a catheter ID of 0.521mm, a catheter OD of 0.699mm, and a gravity flow rate of 20mL/min. Please note that this catheter does not have a high pressure rating.
Clinical studies have shown that IV catheters made from BD Vialon biomaterial are easier to insert, provide longer indwelling times, and contribute to improved patient outcomes. The BD 381412 Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheter is intended for single-use and requires a prescription. It is free from natural rubber latex and is not classified as a kit, combination product, or a human cell, tissue, or cellular or tissue-based product.
