IV cannulas G20

Designed for versatility and patient comfort, the G20 IV Cannula is a staple in emergency rooms, surgical wards, and general hospital care. The 20-gauge size strikes an ideal balance: it is fine enough to be inserted into the dorsal veins of the hand or forearm with minimal pain, yet the lumen is wide enough to support rapid fluid resuscitation and the transfusion of blood products or viscous medications.

The catheter is typically manufactured from kink-resistant, biocompatible materials (such as PTFE, FEP, or Polyurethane) that soften slightly at body temperature to conform to the vein’s anatomy, reducing the risk of mechanical phlebitis. The hub features a transparent flashback chamber, providing the clinician with immediate visual confirmation of successful vein entry (blood return).

Key Components:

• Needle: Back-cut, electropolished stainless steel designed to minimize insertion force.

• Wings: Flexible and angled for easy fixation and stability against the skin.

• Port: A snap-cap injection port with a non-return silicone valve allows for needle-free drug delivery.

• Luer Lock: Standard proximal hub fits all IV tubing sets.

Clinical Indications:

• Post-operative pain management.

• Correction of dehydration (Fluid replacement).

• Transfusion of Red Blood Cells (RBCs).

• Intravenous antibiotic therapy.

Key Product Specifications:

• Gauge: 20G

• Color Code: Pink

• Flow Rate: Approx. 60-65 ml/min (Water)

Usage & Safety:
Select a vein of appropriate size. Cleanse skin with antiseptic. Insert using aseptic technique. Once the catheter is advanced, retract the needle and dispose of it immediately in a sharps container. Secure the cannula with a sterile dressing. Flush regularly to maintain patency.
