The 22‑gauge × 1‑inch winged version of the Introcan Safety® catheter offers a well‑balanced peripheral IV access solution for both general care and specialized units. With its winged hub design, the catheter supports secure stabilization post‑insertion—helping reduce movement‑related complications and enhancing patient comfort. The polyurethane material provides a soft, flexible profile that lends itself to efficient insertion and comfortable dwell time, particularly in adult patients requiring routine vascular access where a mid‑sized bore is appropriate.

Safety and insertion confidence are key features of this device. The truly passive safety shield mechanism automatically activates as the needle is withdrawn—requiring no user action and reducing the risk of needlestick injury for clinicians. Coupled with the “Double Flashback” visualization—first when the needle enters the vein and second when the catheter advances—users gain improved confirmation of placement and reduced likelihood of placement error. Together, these features support higher first‑stick success rates and streamline workflow, especially in high‑turnover or critical care settings.

From a materials‑safety and operational logistics perspective, the 4253540‑02 model aligns with modern facility protocols. Being free of natural rubber latex, DEHP and PVC ensures compatibility with allergy‑sensitive patients and aligns with institutional standards for safer device materials. The 200‑unit case pack supports efficient inventory management in high‑volume units such as emergency departments, infusion centers or inpatient wards. In sum, this catheter delivers a strong combination of performance, safety, and supply‑chain efficiency—making it a solid choice for facilities focused on reliable, safe peripheral IV access.

A passive safety device sign that deploys automatically and cannot be by-passed. Designed to protect against accidental needlestick injuries to both clinicians and patients. New universal bevel allows for a wider choice of insertion angles to enhance flexibility and patient comfort.
