Advantages

Double Flashback Technology - Confirms that both needle and catheter capillary are inside the vessel. First needle flash confirms needle is in vein, second catheter flash confirms catheter is in vein.

Universal Back Cut Bevel – Allows for a wide choice of insertion angles and is designed for minimal puncture trauma.1

Radiopaque Stripes - For a good visibility of the catheter capillary under X-Ray.

Power Injectable – Pressure rated for contrast media application at 300 PSI (18-24G).

IV catheter material available in PUR and FEP – PUR for a softer and more comfortable in-dwelling performance, FEP as alternative firmer material e.g. for arterial access.2
