1. The Clear Flashback Chamber enables rapid identification of blood flashback, with a ribbed design for secure handling. The Locking Bevel Indicator ensures bevel-up orientation and adds stability during catheter advancement.
2. Finger Flanges are crafted to reduce contamination of the catheter hub's key parts.
3. The Universal Bevel provides clinicians with a broader range of insertion angles.
4. Double Flashback Technology enhances first stick success by allowing quick visualisation of both Needle Flash and Catheter Flash.
5. The Push-Off Plate supports easy one-handed insertion, minimizes touch contamination, and serves as a bevel orientation guide.
6. The polyurethane (PUR) Catheter offers a softer, more comfortable, and longer indwelling performance with kink resistance. Optimized lubrication ensures smooth catheter advancement. The transparent catheter with four radiopaque strips allows for quick flashback visualisation.
7. The Passive Safety Shield guards against accidental needlestick injuries and facilitates an easy, one-hand technique, promoting best practices by preventing needle reinsertion.
8. The Multi-Access Septum effectively controls blood backflow, reducing exposure and cleanup time.
9. The integrated Stabilisation Platform enhances catheter stability and minimizes movement within the vessel. The elevated luer connection is designed to reduce catheter kinking and touch contamination.
10. The Removable Vented Flashplug allows for syringe attachment for aspiration or other specialized procedures.
