Optiva Cannula 20Gx25mm 

 OPTIVA I.V. Catheter provides superior insertion and ease of use by featuring an electropolished “V”-Point needle, finely tapered catheter shoulders, thin walled construction, radiopacity and incorporates OCRILON polyurethane catheter tubing. OCRILON polyurethane is firm upon insertion of the cannula, then softens to conform in the vein. OCRILON is a clear, radiopaque polyurethane, allowing for easy flashback visualization. A comparative, randomized clinical study of the risk factors for infusion-related phlebitis found OCRILON polyurethane catheter material to reduce the risk of phlebitis by nearly 60% as compared with FEP polymer (relative risk = 0.41; p = 0.007). These catheters are also available in a side-port version hub as OPTIVA I.V. Catheters. For more information please contact your country account representative.
