Description
The Becton Dickinson BD Venflon I.V. Cannula is a sterile, single-use intravenous catheter intended for peripheral vascular access. This 14G cannula is designed for situations requiring high flow rates, such as rapid fluid or blood administration in emergency and critical care settings. It is constructed from BD Vialon™ biomaterial, which is formulated to soften within the vein, potentially reducing mechanical trauma and enhancing patient comfort during indwelling time. The design incorporates an injection port for medication delivery and flexible wings to aid in secure placement.
BD Vialon™ Biomaterial: The catheter is made from a proprietary material that softens inside the vein, which may reduce the chances of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50% compared to traditional FEP catheters. Back-cut Needle Design: Features a sharp, back-cut needle intended to provide ease of skin and vein penetration for a smoother insertion process. Flexible Wings: Ergonomically designed wings help to stabilize the cannula once it is in the vein and provide a comfortable and secure fixation for the patient. Integrated Injection Port: Includes a ported design with a snap cap, allowing for the administration of medications without needing a separate needle stick. Flashback Chamber: A transparent chamber provides immediate visual confirmation of vein entry when blood appears, which can contribute to a higher first-attempt success rate.
Q: What is a 14G IV cannula primarily used for?
A: A 14G IV cannula is a large-bore catheter used in critical medical situations that require rapid administration of fluids or blood, such as in trauma cases, major surgeries, or severe dehydration.
Q: Is this product intended for self-use?
A: No, this is a medical device intended for peripheral catheterization and should only be used by qualified healthcare professionals in a clinical setting like a hospital or emergency room.
Q: What does the '14G' and 'Orange' color signify?
A: The '14G' refers to the gauge (size) of the cannula, which is a large diameter. The orange color is a standard visual indicator for a 14-gauge cannula, allowing for quick identification by medical staff.
Q: What are the wings on the cannula for?
A: The wings on the side of the cannula hub are designed for secure fixation to the patient's skin, which helps to stabilize the catheter and reduces the risk of it being accidentally dislodged.
Q: Why is it important to consult a healthcare professional regarding this product?
A: This is a sterile medical instrument for intravenous access. Its use requires professional medical training to ensure correct placement, avoid complications like vein damage or infection, and to determine if it is appropriate for the patient's specific medical condition.

Direction for Use/Dosage
For use by trained healthcare professionals only. Follow institutional guidelines for intravenous cannulation. Prepare and disinfect the insertion site according to local policy. Remove the cannula from its sterile packaging. Perform venipuncture at a low angle, observing for blood return in the flashback chamber. Once flashback is observed, lower the device and advance it slightly to ensure the cannula tip is inside the vein. Stabilize the cannula and withdraw the needle, then dispose of the needle in an appropriate sharps container. Secure the cannula wings to the skin using a sterile dressing. Flush the cannula with saline to confirm patency.
