IV cannulas G22

The G22 IV Cannula is engineered for “difficult access” scenarios where preserving vein health is paramount. Standard larger gauges (like 18G or 20G) can cause rupture or phlebitis in patients with sclerosed or thread-like veins; the 22G offers a gentler alternative. It features a thin-wall construction that maximizes flow despite the small outer diameter. The needle tip is back-cut and electropolished to ensure smooth penetration with minimal insertion force.

Key Components:

• Needle: High-quality stainless steel with a sharp, atraumatic tip.

• Catheter Material: Biocompatible PTFE/FEP or Polyurethane to reduce irritation during long-term dwelling.

• Wings: Color-coded Blue for instant identification and provides stability on small limbs.

• Port: Integrated port with non-return valve.

Clinical Indications:

• Pediatric infusions and fluid management.

• Geriatric care (fragile, rolling veins).

• Long-term antibiotic therapy.

• Administration of cytotoxic drugs (chemotherapy) in peripheral lines.

Key Product Specifications:
