viavalve iv safety catheter / 20g x 1 a/4z / box of 200

DESCRIPTION

• Blood Control Feature: ViaValve® Safety IV Catheters have an internal valve that reduces blood exposure and contamination risk during venipuncture. The valve prevents blood from flowing out of the patient's vein when the catheter is first inserted, reducing potential contamination and exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
• Needlestick Safety: The catheter's safety guard surrounds the retracted introducer needle, producing an audible "click" to confirm that the needle is contained for safe handling and disposal. This feature helps prevent unintended needlestick injuries.
• Usage and Activation: The valve inside the catheter hub is activated by attaching the Luer fitting of an infusion line, allowing blood to flow freely through the catheter.
• Additional Features and Benefits:
• Winged Design: ViaValve® is now available with wings for improved clinician choice and catheter securement.
• Softening Catheter Tubes: The polyurethane catheter tubes soften over time, providing greater flexibility for longer in-dwell.
• Ribbed Hub Design: The ribbed hub design aids in catheter securement.
• One-Handed Insertion: The sliding shield allows for better control during one-handed insertion and threading.
• FLASH-VUE® Early Flash Indicator: This feature, available on gauges 20 to 24, indicates when the needle tip enters a vein, helping improve accuracy.
• V-Point Needle: The V-point needle design ensures lower penetration force, enhancing patient comfort.
