IV Catheter 16 Gauge x 1.16" Prevent R Peripheral with Button Retracting Safety Needle 50/Box

Prevent R Peripheral IV Catheter is a medical device used for intravenous therapy to access and administer fluids, medications, and blood products. The catheter is inserted into a peripheral vein, usually in the arm or hand, and is secured with an adhesive dressing. It is designed to be used in a clinical setting by healthcare professionals.

The size of the catheter is 16 gauge, which refers to the diameter of the needle used to insert it. The needle is 1.16 inches long, allowing for easy insertion into a superficial vein. This size is typically used for adult patients, and it can accommodate the flow of higher volumes of fluids.

The catheter also features a button-retracting safety needle, which provides a retractable mechanism to shield the needle after insertion. This adds an extra layer of safety for the healthcare worker and reduces the risk of accidental needle sticks.

The McKesson Prevent R Peripheral IV Catheter comes in a box of 50 units, making it suitable for use in a variety of medical settings. It is a single-use device and should be disposed of after each use to prevent the risk of infection.
