Product Name:

Canocare IV Cannula with Wings and Injection Port – 24G, 0.7x19mm, Radio Opaque Catheter (Flowrate 20ml/min)
Pack Size: 100 pieces

Product Description:

The Canocare IV Cannula with Wings and Injection Port is a sterile, single-use intravenous catheter designed for safe and efficient peripheral venous access. The 24G size (0.7mm x 19mm) is ideal for pediatric, geriatric, or patients with small veins. The radio-opaque catheter ensures it can be visualized under X-ray, making it ideal for precise placement.

• Size/Dimensions: 24G (0.7mm diameter, 19mm length)

• Flowrate: 20ml/min, suitable for low to moderate flow rates

• Injection Port: Allows for medication administration without requiring a new needle stick

• Radio-opaque: For visibility under imaging (e.g., X-ray or fluoroscopy)

• Wings: Provides additional stability for secure taping

• Material: Made of biocompatible, flexible polyurethane or Teflon

• Sterility: Ethylene oxide sterilized, individually packed

• Latex-Free: Safe for latex-sensitive patients

• Packaging: 100 cannulas per box

Indications (Uses):

The Canocare IV Cannula 24G is indicated for:

• Peripheral intravenous therapy (IV fluids, electrolytes, and hydration)

• Medication infusion, including antibiotics and other intravenous drugs

• Blood sampling for diagnostic tests

• Emergency or short-term venous access for patients with small or fragile veins

• Neonatal and pediatric use, particularly in small children or infants requiring IV access

• Preoperative and postoperative care for fluid and medication administration

• Blood transfusions, where appropriate for small veins

Dosage / Directions for Use:

Dosage refers to the medication or fluids administered through the IV cannula, which should be as prescribed by a healthcare provider. General usage instructions for the IV cannula:

1. Wash hands and use aseptic technique to minimize infection risk.

2. Select a vein that is appropriate for the 24G size, typically in the hand, wrist, or forearm.

3. Insert the IV cannula at the correct angle and advance the catheter once blood flashback is visible.

4. Withdraw the needle while advancing the catheter into the vein and secure it with the attached wings using sterile adhesive.

5. Attach IV tubing or a medication injector via the injection port.

6. Monitor the insertion site regularly for signs of phlebitis, infiltration, or infection.

7. Flush the cannula with sterile saline as necessary to ensure patency.

Frequency: IV cannulas are typically used for short-term access, with regular monitoring and changing of the site as required (usually every 72-96 hours or as per clinical guidelines).

Side Effects (Risks / Complications):

While generally safe, potential side effects or complications can include:

• Phlebitis (inflammation of the vein)

• Infiltration (fluid leaking into surrounding tissue)

• Infection at the insertion site

• Pain, swelling, or redness around the cannula site

• Hematoma (bruise or clot formation)

• Thrombosis (clot formation in the vein)

• Air embolism (if not properly flushed and maintained)

• Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), particularly with prolonged use or improper aseptic technique

Contraindications:

• Do not use if the catheter is damaged or the packaging is compromised.

• Not for intra-arterial use – strictly for peripheral intravenous use only.

• Avoid insertion in areas with infection, active inflammation, or compromised skin.

• Do not reuse – these are single-use devices.

• Not for long-term use in patients who require extended venous access (consider central lines for long-term access).

• Do not use on patients with a known allergy to the materials used in the catheter (e.g., polyurethane or Teflon).

• Avoid use in veins that are overly fragile or difficult to puncture (especially for patients with severe dehydration or compromised vasculature).
