Bd Venflon Iv Cannula 18g 1

Bd Venflon Iv Cannula 18g is used for establishing peripheral intravenous access in various clinical situations. This medical device is developed with features that support safe and effective vascular access while helping reduce potential exposure risks during insertion and withdrawal. Designed with BD Vialon, a softening polyurethane catheter material, this cannula is intended to support secure placement and prolonged dwell time.

• Latex/PVC Status: Latex-free and PVC-free.
   
• Safety Feature: A passive safety needle system shields the needle tip after use, protecting against needlestick injury (NSI).
   
• Accuracy: BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology improves insertion accuracy and reduces painful, missed insertions.
   
• Passive Safety: It provides reliable protection from accidental needlestick injuries (NSI).
   
• BD Vialon™ Catheter Material: It softens in the vein up to 70%, allowing longer dwell times, fewer restarts, and reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis.

• Supports Safe Vascular Access: BD Venflon IV Cannula is designed with BD Vialon, which softens after insertion to allow smoother vein access. The ergonomic structure contributes to stability during use. Its features help reduce discomfort during vascular procedures.
   
• Enhances Needle Safety and Handling: The passive safety mechanism encapsulates the needle tip after withdrawal, supporting safe handling by healthcare professionals. BD Instaflash technology provides instant visual feedback to confirm correct placement. The integrated design allows confident use with fewer risks.
   
• Assists Secure Catheter Placement: BD Venflon IV Cannula includes a sharp, back-cut bevel to ease penetration through skin and vein walls. The catheter is supported by flexible material that conforms to the vein, promoting longer placement stability. This structure can reduce the need for frequent replacements.
   
• Facilitates High-Flow Fluid Delivery: The 18G size supports rapid administration of fluids and blood products during high-demand situations. BD Vialon helps maintain flow by reducing vein irritation. It is commonly selected in surgical or emergency cases where reliable access is essential.
   
• Enables Convenient Medication Access: The built-in port with snap cap allows delivery of fluids or medication without disturbing the main line. The latex-free and PVC-free construction reduces the chance of reactions. This feature simplifies bedside access during continuous care.

• Follow aseptic technique and use sterile gloves before starting the procedure.
• Disinfect the selected site and allow it to dry before insertion.
• Insert the cannula at a low angle and confirm flashback of blood.
• Advance the catheter into the vein and then withdraw the needle fully.
• Dispose of the needle in a sharps container after activation of the safety mechanism.
• Secure the catheter with sterile dressing and flush with saline to confirm flow.
• Regularly monitor the insertion site and replace if needed within 72 to 96 hours.

• Read the label carefully before use.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and moisture.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Avoid any physical damage to the scale.
