Peripheral Catheter System Saf-T-Intima Shielding Device

AllegroMedical.com presents The Peripheral Catheter System Saf-T-Intima Shielding Device. BD Saf-T-Intima closed IV catheter system made of clinically superior BD Vialon™ biomaterial offers passive needle shielding to provide the highest degree of safety while providing both clinical and economic benefits. The integrated system provides added protection from blood and bloodborne pathogens.

BD Vialon biomaterial has been clinically proven to offer indwelling superiority and reduced catheter related complications. The smoother surface of the BD Vialon biomaterial dramatically reduces catheter drag upon insertion and formation of catheter-related thrombosis during indwelling periods.

Once inside the vein, the BD Vialon catheter softens, which reduces irritation to the intima (the inner lining) of the vein. This superior softening capability allows the catheter to conform to the natural lie of the vessel, resulting in less pressure to the vessel walls, and reducing the risk of vessel wall penetration.

The thinwall design of the BD Vialon biomaterial provides higher flow rates than FEP catheters without compromising catheter strength.

The unique, telescoping safety shield covers the needle after use to help protect you against accidental needlesticks injuries. A removable PRN adapter lets you connect with your choice of needleless injection system or infusion line. The multipurpose design features an integral extension set with a slide clamp and a unique "Y" adapter so you can preconnect the BD Saf-T-Intima integrated IV catheter and create a closed catheter system for a virtually bloodless insertion.
