CATHETER IV 22GX1IN SAFETY VIAVALVE STRAIGHT HUB BLUE

ViaValve® Safety IV Catheter. Straight Hub (Blue), Radiopaque, 22g x 1", Ocrilon® Polyurethane, needle features FLASH-VUE® Early Flash Indicator reveals when the needle tip enters the vein. 38mL/min. Provides blood control to help reduce the risk of blood exposure and contamination. A unique valve inside the catheter hub impedes blood flow from the patient's vein upon initial venipuncture. Maintaining a clean access site helps prevent the transfer of bloodborne pathogens from patient to caregiver on soiled gloves, clothing, bedding and dressings. The catheter valve, once in the patient's vein, is activated by attaching the Luer fitting of an infusion line which opens the valve to allow unrestricted flow. ViaValve® Safety IV Catheters also help prevent unintended needlesticks. Its safety guard surrounds the retracted introducer needle and produces a "click" to indicate that the needle is contained for handling and disposal. ViaValve® Safety IV Catheters feature Ocrilon® polyurethane catheter tubes that soften and become more pliable, allowing longer in-dwell. Fully encased needle safety design helps prevent needle stick injuries and blood exposure. V-Point needle helps maximize patient comfort with low penetration force. UOM: 50/BX.
