<\/p>\nHow to Use<\/h3>\n
Step 1: Patient Preparation<\/strong>
\nIdentify the appropriate vein and clean the insertion site with antiseptic solution. Allow to dry completely. Apply tourniquet 4-6 inches above the insertion site.<\/p>\nStep 2: Cannula Selection<\/strong>
\nChoose the appropriate gauge based on patient condition and therapy requirements. Smaller gauges (22G-24G) for pediatric and fragile veins, larger gauges (18G-20G) for rapid infusion.<\/p>\nStep 3: Insertion<\/strong>
\nRemove the cannula from sterile packaging. Hold the cannula at 10-30 degree angle with bevel up. Insert smoothly into the vein. Watch for blood flashback in the transparent chamber confirming successful entry.<\/p>\nStep 4: Advancement<\/strong>
\nOnce flashback is seen, lower the angle and advance the catheter over the needle into the vein. Never reinsert the needle once the catheter is advanced to prevent catheter damage.<\/p>\nStep 5: Securing<\/strong>
\nRemove the tourniquet. Withdraw the needle completely while applying gentle pressure above the catheter tip. Attach the IV line or cap. Secure with transparent dressing and note the date and time.<\/p>\nStep 6: Monitoring & Removal<\/strong>
\nMonitor the site regularly for signs of infiltration, phlebitis, or infection. Change as per your facility protocol (typically 72-96 hours). For removal, use sterile gauze and apply pressure after withdrawal.<\/p>\nWho Is This For?<\/h3>\n

FAQs<\/h3>\n
Q: Which size should I use for adult patients?<\/strong>
\nA: For routine IV therapy in adults, 20G (pink) or 22G (blue) are most common. Use 18G (green) for rapid fluid resuscitation or blood transfusions. Choose 22G or 24G for elderly patients or those with fragile veins.<\/p>\nQ: Can I reinsert the needle after removing it?<\/strong>
\nA: Never reinsert the needle once it has been withdrawn from the catheter. This can shear the catheter material and cause catheter embolism.<\/p>\nQ: How long can an IV cannula stay in place?<\/strong>
\nA: Standard practice is to replace peripheral IV cannulas every 72-96 hours to reduce infection and phlebitis risk. However, follow your facility’s specific protocols.<\/p>\nQ: What should I do if there’s no blood flashback?<\/strong>
\nA: Absence of flashback may indicate you haven’t entered the vein, the bevel is against the vein wall, or the vein has collapsed. Do not advance the catheter. Withdraw slightly or try repositioning.<\/p>\nQ: Is the injection port compatible with needleless systems?<\/strong>
\nA: Yes, our injection port is designed to work with both traditional needle access and needleless systems used in most hospitals.<\/p>\nQ: How do I prevent infiltration?<\/strong>
\nA: Secure the cannula properly with transparent dressing, monitor the site regularly, educate patients about movement restrictions, and assess for pain, swelling, or coolness at the site.<\/p>\nQ: Can I draw blood from the IV cannula?<\/strong>
\nA: While possible, it’s not recommended as it may cause hemolysis and affect lab values. Use the cannula for blood draws only immediately after insertion if necessary.<\/p>\nQ: What’s the difference between PTFE and polyurethane catheters?<\/strong>
\nA: PTFE catheters maintain consistent diameter and are more rigid, ideal for quick insertion. They have excellent biocompatibility and low friction coefficient.<\/p>\nTechnical Specifications Table<\/h3>\n
