A specialized vascular access device engineered explicitly for neonatal, pediatric, and high-risk infusion therapies. Designed with a minimized physical footprint to ensure secure fixation without compromising strict infection control protocols.
Product Characteristics:
- The I.V Cannula has been designed specially with small wings and W/O injection port, to assist infusion therapy amongst neonates. 6% luer tapper for compatibility with any international product.
- The device comprises a siliconized and ground Stainless Steel with ultra-thin, ultra-sharp needle with triple facet bevel to ensure smooth and painless venipuncture during cannulation thus reducing pain and discomfort experienced during the insertion.
- The device is made of best-in-class kink resistant and biocompatible Catheter, with extremely smooth inner and outer surfaces to ensure easy venipuncture with minimum trauma, Gently tapered catheter tip aligns with the needle bevel to provide smooth transition from needle to catheter.
- The device is enabled with small wings specially designed for easy gripping and safe clamping to allow secure fixation to skin.
- The product is designed with flashback chamber for immediate confirmation of venipuncture. ** Specially designed filter hub cover with hydrophobic filter, for fast air filtration or sterile venting and provide rapid flow of blood and easy flashback.
- The product does not compromise the clinical condition or the safety of patients and reduces mechanical stress and intimal injury to blood vessel.
- The device IV Cannula is to be used in ambient conditions and should be used ONLY by a qualified doctor or a paramedic.
Special Characteristics:
- Customized Automated Tipping Technology for lower penetration forces.
- Minimum Clearance between catheter and needle to avoid peel-back.
- CatheterMaterial as per USP standards Class VI.
The Pediatric and Neonatal Advantage
Securing vascular access in infants or patients with fragile veins requires highly specialized equipment. Standard adult cannulas often feature bulky hubs that can cause skin necrosis or accidental dislodgement on tiny limbs.
By utilizing an IV catheter with wings that are deliberately scaled down, clinicians can achieve a safe, firm grip during insertion and ensure secure, flat fixation to the patient’s skin. Furthermore, this device functions as an IV catheter without a port, eliminating the need for a secondary injection valve. This minimalist, closed-hub design is crucial in NICU environments because it removes a potential entry point for bacteria, drastically lowering the risk of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) in vulnerable patients.
Technical Innovations & Device Anatomy
Despite its minimal footprint, this Class IIa medical device is packed with advanced fluid dynamics and atraumatic features.
- Hydrophobic Filter Hub: Equipped with a specially designed filter hub cover containing a hydrophobic filter. This allows for incredibly fast air filtration and sterile venting, yielding a rapid blood flashback for immediate confirmation of venipuncture.
- Universal 6% Luer Taper: The proximal hub features a universal 6% taper, ensuring a flawless, leak-proof connection with any international extension set or closed-system transfer device.
- Advanced Wing Sheath (Optional): Can be supplied with an optional wing cover that acts as a protective sheath and provides rigid, additional support during the initial cannulation process.
- Premium Material Selection: Available in thin-walled PTFE (Clear or Radiopaque), FEP Radiopaque, or PUR Radiopaque. All options are highly biocompatible and kink-resistant.
- CATT Insertion Profile: The ultra-sharp, triple-facet stainless steel needle is paired with Customized Automated Tipping Technology (CATT). The precisely tapered catheter tip aligns perfectly with the needle bevel to ensure a smooth, painless transition into the vein without "peel-back."
Comprehensive Catheter Sizing Matrix
To support delicate therapies, our gauge range extends down to 26G. Every device is universally color-coded for instant identification in high-stress clinical environments.
(Note: A specialized 17G variant is also available upon specific procurement request).
Quality Compliance and Procurement Logistics
- Sterility & Safety: Terminal Ethylene Oxide (EtO gas) sterilization. The device is guaranteed non-pyrogenic, and residual EtO gases remain strictly within normative limits.
- Biocompatibility: Meets all ISO-10993 international standards for biological safety, significantly reducing mechanical stress and intimal injury to the blood vessel.
- Recommended Usage: Maximum dwell time is 96 hours as per CDC guidelines.
- Packaging Configurations: Unit packing is available in high-grade Tyvek or Medical Grade Paper. Distributed in inner cartons of 100 and master cartons of 1,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the wings on this specific model smaller than standard cannulas?
The small-wing architecture is specifically designed for neonates, infants, and geriatric patients. Standard wings can overlap or bunch up on very small limbs, making secure taping difficult. The scaled-down wings provide just enough surface area for safe clamping and flat fixation without overwhelming the insertion site.
What is the benefit of the hydrophobic filter during delicate insertions?
In patients with low blood pressure or tiny, fragile veins, blood return (flashback) can be slow. The hydrophobic filter rapidly vents air from the flashback chamber, creating zero resistance. This allows the clinician to see the blood flash instantly, preventing them from pushing the needle too far and "blowing" the vein.
Can we order this model with PUR (Polyurethane) tubing?
Yes. While PTFE (Teflon) is standard for its smooth insertion profile, PUR is highly recommended for longer dwell times (up to 96 hours). PUR softens at body temperature, allowing the catheter to float comfortably within the vein and reducing mechanical phlebitis.
How does the optional wing cover assist during cannulation?
The optional wing cover slides over the wings, holding them rigidly together. This transforms the winged hub into a firm, pen-like grip. Once the catheter is successfully advanced into the vein, the clinician simply slides the cover off to deploy the wings flat against the skin for taping.
