Venflon IV Cannula 22G

The BD Venflon Pro Safety Needle Protected IV Cannula is a peripheral IV catheter that prioritises safety and patient comfort. It comes with a passive safety needle system, designed to fully shield the needle tip during withdrawal, offering protection from needlestick injuries.

At the heart of this product is the BD Instaflash Needle Technology, featuring a notched needle to enhance insertion success, minimising painful hit-and-miss attempts. The cannula softens significantly in the vein, enabling longer dwell times and reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis.

It is built to confirm immediate vessel entry, thereby reducing potential discomfort during insertion attempts. Furthermore, this Venflon 22Gcannula accommodates various insertion techniques, offers optimal skin and vein penetration, and provides comfortable securement for the patient with a 'snap' cap feature to prevent accidental opening of the port. This device is versatile enough to cater to a range of infusion therapy needs.

Features

• Passive safety needle system
• BD Instaflash Needle Technology
• Softens up to 70% in the vein
• Snap cap for securement
• Versatile for various infusion needs

• Enhanced Protection: The BD Venflon Pro Safety Needle Protected IV Cannula prioritises user safety with its passive safety needle system. By fully encasing the needle tip upon withdrawal, it offers an effective barrier against needlestick injuries (NSI), promoting a safer environment for both healthcare workers and patients.
• Improved Insertion Success: Thanks to the BD Instaflash Needle Technology, the device facilitates better insertion outcomes. The use of a notched needle minimises the occurrence of painful hit-and-miss insertions, enhancing patient comfort and potentially reducing procedure times.
• Reduced Risk of Mechanical Phlebitis: The 22g cannula material, BD Vialon™, can soften up to 70% in the vein. This alteration allows for extended dwell times, minimises the need for re-starts, and effectively lessens the risk of mechanical phlebitis - a common complication associated with IV therapy.
• Secured and Comfortable Use: The Venflon 22 cannula is designed not only for efficacy but also for patient comfort. It's 'snap' cap feature prevents accidental port opening, providing securement during use. This consideration enhances patients' comfort throughout infusion therapy sessions.

• Begin by selecting the appropriate Venflon 22Gcannula size based on the patient's vein size and condition.
• Clean the insertion site with an antiseptic to minimise the risk of infection.
• Hold the BD Venflon Pro Safety Needle Protected IV Cannula by its wings, ensuring a steady grip.
• Align the needle at an appropriate angle with the vein and apply gentle pressure for insertion.
• Upon successful vein entry, the BD Instaflash™ needle technology will display an immediate visual confirmation.
• Once in place, fully withdraw the needle, allowing the passive safety system to shield the needle tip and prevent any needlestick injuries.
• Secure the cannula with a sterile dressing and ensure that the 'snap' cap is in place to prevent accidental opening.

Always ensure that health professionals using this device are well-trained on proper insertion techniques to minimise patient discomfort and potential complications. Sterile, single-use only. Do not reuse as it can lead to cross-contamination or infection. Monitor the insertion site regularly for signs of inflammation or phlebitis. Ensure that the 'snap' cap is secured after use to prevent accidental opening which could lead to contamination. Keep out of reach of untrained individuals to avoid misuse or accidental needlestick injuries.
