PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Introcan® Safety IV Catheter
B. Braun Medical's new Introcan® Safety IV Catheter automatically engages a stainless steel clip that shields the needle tip when the needle bevel exits the catheter hubwithout healthcare workers changing their technique.
Introcan Safety's passive design eliminates the risk of inadvertent activation because the safety mechanism can not be bypassed. The key to designing safety devices is engineering a product that requires no change in technique...something that nurses and doctors do not have to think twice about. When healthcare workers use the Introcan Safety product, safety is automatic.
| In addition to the patent-pending safety clip design, the Introcan Safety IV catheter features a unique design that allows pre-attachment of a syringe to the IV catheter without compromising the passive safety mechanism. The Introcan Safety IV catheter is compatible wih all syringes with luer connections. Introcan Safety ensures smooth insertion with a push-off plate that facilitates a single-handed technique. Striped, radiopaque material enables visualization of flashback throughout the catheter during insertion. A sharp needle bevel and rounded catheter tip help ensure smooth venipunctures. |
