Description
The Polymed Polyflon I.V. Cannula in 14G size is a medical device intended for intravenous procedures. This large-bore catheter is specifically designed for situations requiring rapid fluid administration, such as infusions or blood transfusions. It is manufactured from tested biocompatible materials, and the catheter is designed to be kink-resistant to allow for optimal flow rates. This device is intended for use by medical professionals to gain intravenous access for administering medications, fluids, and for other related procedures.
Kink-Resistant FEP Catheter: Features a specially tapered and kink-resistant FEP (Fluorinated ethylene propylene) radiopaque catheter for easy insertion and consistent flow.
Injection Port: Equipped with an injection port that has a non-return silicone valve for administering intermittent medication without needing another needle stick.
Flexible Fixation Wings: Comes with flexible wings that help in providing a secure and stable fixation to the patient's skin.
Transparent Flashback Chamber: Allows for easy visual confirmation of successful venipuncture, helping to ensure correct placement.
Biocompatible Material: Manufactured from tested, non-toxic, and biocompatible materials suitable for longer indwelling times.
Q: Is this I.V. cannula intended for single use?
A: Yes, the Polymed Polyflon I.V. Cannula is a single-use device designed to create intravascular access. It is meant to be used once and then disposed of to prevent infections and cross-contamination.
Q: What are the primary uses for a 14G cannula?
