      Introcan Safety® Deep Access
      Safety IV Catheter for deep vein access

      Introcan Safety® Deep Access is a peripheral IV catheter with a passive fully automatic needlestick protection. It is designed for difficult intravenous access (DIVA) patients and allows access to deeper veins thanks to its longer catheter(G18-22 x 64mm / 21/2 in; G24 x 32mm / 11/4 in). DIVA patients can be clustered as the following:

      • Pediatric / Neonate patients
      • Overweight or obese patients
      • Overage or chronically ill (i.e. diabetes) patients
      • Emergency / Acute (i.e. skin burn, haematoma, dehydration) patients

      It is a single-use device to generate intravascular and tissue access to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids and blood intravascularly. Introcan Safety® Deep Access is also indicated for subcutaneous infusion therapies and 300 PSI power injector applications.
