Introcan Safety® 2
Safety IV Catheter with one-time blood control septum
Introcan® Safety 2 is a short safety peripheral intravenous catheter with passive needlestickprevention and a one-time blood control septum.
Introcan® Safety 2 is inserted into a patient’s vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, to monitor blood pressure, or to administer fluids and blood intravascularly. It is also indicated for subcutaneous infusion therapies.
Advantages
Passive Safety Shield – A passive fully automatic protection helps eliminating needlestick injuries and related infections. It deploys automatically, cannot be bypassed and requires no user activation. 1, 2, 3
Double Flashback Technology - Helps to reduce multiple stick attempts. Needle-Flash is designed to confirm that the needle is in the vein, Catheter-Flash is designed to confirm catheter placement.
Universal Back Cut Bevel – Allows for a wide choice of insertion angles and is designed for minimal puncture trauma. 4
One-time Blood Control Septum - Minimizes blood exposure during insertion and the need for venous compression, reduces clean up time and material. 5,6
Radiopaque Stripes - For visualization of the catheter capillary under X-Ray.
