This special tip lets the 20G catheter safely handle high-pressure radiographic (e.g. CT) injections (up to ~325 psi) and meet high-flow injection protocols. In practice BD lists this 20G×1″ Diffusics catheter as suitable for power injections (e.g. up to ~68 mL\/min flow in testing).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan class=\"VODHU pdMy8\"\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Stability:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"VODHU pdMy8\"\u003e The catheter itself is made of BD’s Vialon™ biomaterial – a flexible polymer that softens when inside the vein. This helps patient comfort and allows longer catheter dwell times (studies show Vialon can extend dwell and reduce phlebitis risk). The Nexiva system also includes a built-in stabilisation platform and BD’s InstaFlash™ needle, which improve insertion accuracy and reduce “hit-and-miss” attempts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"VODHU pdMy8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosed System Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"VODHU pdMy8\"\u003eNexiva is pre-assembled with its extension tubing, forming a truly closed IV system.
