High-performance peripheral intravenous catheter designed with an automatic anti-needlestick mechanism to protect healthcare professionals. Class IIa certified and engineered for atraumatic venipuncture.

‍

Product Characteristics: 

• Safety I.V. Cannula pioneered the movement to innovative safety design that protect the healthcare worker from the risks associated with accidental needle-stick injuries, tapered hub for insertion ease and patient comfort.
•  Safety IV cannula enables a needle safety feature that protects the users, i.e. Needle shield fully encapsulates the needle tip once activated to minimize needle-stick injury during cannulation.
• The unique, large volume chamber allows clear visual conformation through flashback and easy handling.
•  Safety IV cannula device designed to help protect healthcare workers as well as hospital waste handlers from exposure to blood borne pathogens via needle-stick and mucocutaneous injuries.
•  Safety IV cannula comprises a siliconized Stainless Steel Needle; Sharp needle technology provides both ease of penetration and improved patient comfort during cannulation. 
•  Safety IV cannula is made of best-in-class medical grade kink resistant and biocompatible PUR Catheters, 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.
• Thumb grip of the device is ergonomically designed to allow for a variety of user techniques to aid insertion. 
•  Safety IV cannulas do not contain elasticized PVC or natural rubber latex and can be used for Taxol administration.
•  Safety IV cannula does not compromise the clinical condition or the safety of patients and reduces mechanical stress and intimal injury to blood vessel.
•  Safety 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.
• Catheter Materials as per USP standard Class VI.

Engineered for Healthcare Worker Safety & Patient Comfort

The rising risk of mucocutaneous injuries and blood-borne pathogens demands a fail-safe approach to vascular access. This safety IV cannula pioneered a self-activating needle shield that fully encapsulates the needle tip immediately upon withdrawal. The safety mechanism requires no extra steps from the clinician and cannot be bypassed, ensuring absolute occupational compliance during every procedure.

For the patient, we utilize Customized Automated Tipping Technology (CATT). This ensures a gently tapered catheter tip and a tapered hub for insertion ease. Because there is minimal clearance between the catheter and the needle, the risk of "peel-back" is eliminated, requiring lower penetration force and providing a smooth transition into the vein.

Key IV Cannula Parts and Features

Every component of this intravenous catheter is engineered to eliminate mechanical stress and reduce intimal injury to the blood vessel.

• Siliconized Stainless Steel Needle: Features an ultra-sharp, triple-facet bevel for effortless tissue penetration and improved patient comfort.
• Ergonomic Thumb Grip: The base of the device is designed to accommodate a wide range of user techniques and clinical grips to aid precision insertion.
• Integrated Wings & Injection Port: Ergonomic wings ensure stable, low-profile fixation on the patient’s body. The injection port allows for secondary medication administration without repuncturing.
• Large Flashback Chamber: Designed for high visibility, allowing immediate visual confirmation of successful venipuncture.
• Medical-Grade PUR Catheter: The catheter body is made from highly biocompatible, kink-resistant Polyurethane (PUR). It features extremely smooth inner and outer surfaces to maintain optimal fluid dynamics.

IV Cannula Gauge Sizes and Flow Rates

To support rapid identification in high-pressure clinical environments, our IV cannula gauge sizing is universally color-coded in accordance with EN ISO 10555 international standards.

(Note: Thin-walled catheters with PTFE Radio-opaque & PUR Radio-opaque lines are available upon request to facilitate visualization under X-ray imaging.)

Clinical Usage, Sterilization, and Compliance

Procurement teams can rely on the rigorous testing and sterile integrity of every batch. Physical characteristics, including leakage, lumen flow rate, and penetration force, are validated prior to release.

• Sterilization: Terminal Ethylene Oxide (EtO gas) Sterilization; residual levels are maintained strictly within EN ISO 10993-7 normative limits.
• Material Safety: Completely free from elasticized PVC and natural rubber latex. Fully compatible and safe for Taxol administration.
• Clinical Protocol: To be used ONLY by a qualified doctor or a paramedic. The recommended maximum time of use is 96 hours, per CDC guidelines.
• Storage & Validity: 5-year shelf life from the date of manufacturing. Store in a cool, dry ambient environment away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

‍

Are these cannulas compatible with standard Luer slip and Luer lock fittings?

Yes, the hub of the cannula is manufactured to precise international standards, ensuring secure, leak-proof interoperability with all universal Luer lock and Luer slip extension sets, syringes, and 3-way stopcocks.

‍

Why is Polyurethane (PUR) preferred over traditional materials for the catheter body?

While both materials are biocompatible, PUR is uniquely thermo-reactive. Once inserted into the peripheral vein, the PUR material gently softens at body temperature, significantly reducing mechanical phlebitis and improving patient comfort during extended dwell times.

‍

Can the safety mechanism be manually overridden during complex insertions?

No. To ensure absolute compliance with international occupational safety directives (including OSHA standards), the automatic needle encapsulation is passive and irreversible. Once the needle is withdrawn, it is permanently locked.

‍

Does the anti-needlestick feature alter standard disposal procedures?

While the encapsulated needle drastically minimizes handling risk before disposal, the unit is still legally classified as a "sharp." It must be discarded in a certified puncture-resistant sharps container and subjected to incineration per standard hospital protocols for blood-contaminated medical devices.

‍

Are these devices suitable for high-pressure power injections (e.g., contrast media)?

These specific models are optimized for standard infusion, transfusion, and gravity drip therapies. For high-velocity power injection procedures (such as CT contrast imaging), please consult your clinical guidelines or speak with our sales team regarding our specialized high-pressure vascular lines.
