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. The polyurethane is firm upon insertion of the cannula, then softens to conform in the vein. It is a clear, radiopaque polyurethane, allowing for easy flashback visualization. A comparative, randomized clinical study of the risk factors for infusion-related phlebitis found the polyurethane catheter material to reduce the risk of phlebitis by nearly 60% as compared with FEP polymer
