The Kid-man SANVIflon I.V. Cannula 20G is a high-quality, sterile medical device engineered for efficient and safe intravenous access. This single-use cannula features a durable Teflon (FEP) catheter integrated with radiopaque lines, allowing for clear visibility under X-ray imaging. The design incorporates a precision-engineered stainless steel needle with a back-cut blade, which facilitates smooth vessel entry and minimizes trauma during the insertion process.
Advantages
This cannula offers significant clinical advantages, including a specialized one-handed insertion handle that provides healthcare professionals with greater control and ease of use. The inclusion of a hydrophobic valve is a critical safety feature, effectively preventing blood leakage during the procedure. Furthermore, the device is constructed from phthalate-free and latex-free materials, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of patients and reducing the risk of allergic reactions or chemical exposure. The color-coded design allows for rapid identification of the 20G size, streamlining clinical workflows in fast-paced environments.
Suitable for
- Rapid intravenous administration of liquid medications
- Fluid replacement therapy in clinical settings
- Short-term venous access for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures
When it may not be suitable
This device is intended for single use only and should not be reused under any circumstances, as this compromises sterility and patient safety. It may not be suitable for patients with specific anatomical conditions that require specialized catheter lengths or materials not provided by this standard 20G configuration.
Key specifications
- Size: 20G (1.1 x 32 mm)
- Material: Teflon (FEP) catheter, stainless steel needle
- Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO)
- Safety features: Hydrophobic valve, radiopaque lines
- Composition: Latex-free and phthalate-free
How to use
Before use, verify the integrity of the sterile packaging. Prepare the insertion site according to standard aseptic protocols. Using the one-handed handle, insert the needle into the vein at the appropriate angle. Once blood flashback is observed in the chamber, advance the Teflon catheter into the vessel while withdrawing the stainless steel needle. Secure the cannula in place and utilize the luer lock cap for medication administration or fluid delivery.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the 20G size is appropriate for the patient's venous condition
- Verify that the clinical facility has proper disposal protocols for medical sharps
- Check the expiration date on the sterile packaging before use
Usage recommendations
Always follow institutional guidelines for intravenous catheter maintenance and site monitoring to prevent complications such as phlebitis or infiltration.
