ViaValve Safety IV Catheter Polyurethane

Optimize first-stick success and minimize clinician blood exposure with the ViaValve Safety IV Catheter from ICU Medical. Engineered with integrated blood control technology and advanced V-point design, this peripheral IV catheter delivers reliable vascular access while safeguarding staff against accidental needlesticks and contamination.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• Integrated Blood Control Technology: Unique internal valve mechanism impedes blood flow from the vessel upon initial venipuncture, preventing leakage during insertion and setup.
• V-Point Insertion Comfort: Specially engineered needle point minimizes penetration resistance, reducing patient pain and venous trauma.
• Full Needle Encapsulation: Passive safety guard fully surrounds the retracted introducer needle, locking with an audible click to virtually eliminate accidental needlestick injuries.
• Flash-Vue™ Notched Needle: Provides early, clear visual confirmation of vessel entry on select gauges (20G, 22G, 24G) to reduce multiple insertion attempts.
• Radiopaque Polyurethane Material: Smooth, kink-resistant polyurethane construction softens inside the vein and ensures clear visibility under X-ray.
