Description
The Becton Dickinson (BD) Neoflon Pro IV Cannula is a sterile, single-use intravenous catheter designed for accessing peripheral veins. With a 24G gauge and dimensions of 0.7mm x 19mm, it is particularly suited for patients with small or fragile veins, such as in paediatric or geriatric care. It incorporates BD Instaflash™ needle technology for visual confirmation of vein entry and is made from BD Vialon™ biomaterial, which softens inside the vein to reduce irritation. This design aims to facilitate successful cannulation while enhancing patient comfort.
BD Vialon™ Biomaterial: The catheter is made from a proprietary material that softens up to 70% once inside the vein, which may reduce the risk of mechanical phlebitis.
Instaflash™ Needle Technology: Provides immediate visual confirmation of successful vessel entry, which can help reduce the number of insertion attempts.
Ergonomic Design: Features an anti-rotation tab and a grip designed to accommodate various insertion techniques, providing control during cannulation.
Flexible Wings: The cannula is equipped with flexible wings that help to stabilize it once in the vein, allowing for comfortable and secure fixation.
Fine Gauge for Delicate Veins: The 24G size is specifically designed for gentle intravenous access in patients with small or fragile veins, such as neonatal and paediatric patients.
Q: What is the primary use for this 24G cannula?
A: This cannula is specifically designed for accessing small, delicate, and fragile veins, making it suitable for paediatric, neonatal, and adult patients with challenging venous access.
Q: What material is the cannula made of and what is its benefit?
A: It is made from a proprietary BD Vialon™ biomaterial, which is designed to soften up to 70% once inside the vein, potentially reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis and allowing for longer dwell times.
Q: Does this cannula have features to confirm vessel entry?
A: Yes, it incorporates BD Instaflash™ needle technology, which provides immediate visual confirmation of successful vessel entry, potentially reducing the number of insertion attempts.
Q: Is there a safety mechanism to prevent needlestick injuries?
A: Yes, the BD Neoflon Pro features a passive needle shield technology that automatically covers the needle after cannulation to protect clinicians from accidental needlestick injuries.
Q: What do the dimensions 24G and 0.7mm x 19mm signify?
A: The '24G' refers to the gauge or diameter of the cannula, with 24G being a small size often used for delicate veins. The dimensions 0.7mm x 19mm refer to the outer diameter and the length of the catheter, respectively.

Direction for Use/Dosage
This product is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals only.
Prepare the insertion site according to institutional protocol, using an aseptic technique.
Perform venipuncture, looking for blood return in the catheter to confirm vessel entry.
Upon visualization of blood, lower the catheter angle and advance the catheter and needle unit slightly (1-2 mm).
Push the catheter off the needle into the vein while stabilizing the skin and vessel.
Remove the needle and dispose of it immediately in a puncture-resistant sharps container.
Secure the catheter hub to the patient using a sterile dressing according to your facility's policy.
