Non-ported straight peripheral IV cannula for paediatric/neonatal use
Description
The BD Neoflon™ Pro IV Catheter 24GA x 0.75\ (0.7 x 19 mm) is a peripheral intravenous cannula designed to access smaller, more fragile vessels with care and precision, particularly in paediatric and neonatal patients. It is a straight, non-ported IV catheter made from proprietary BD Vialon™ biomaterial, which softens in the vein to enhance patient comfort, allow longer dwell times and help reduce the risk of mechanical phlebitis. The device incorporates BD Instaflash™ technology in the introducer needle, providing immediate visual confirmation of vessel entry to support first-attempt success. The 24G (yellow) catheter is supplied as a box of 50 sterile, single-use cannulas, each with an ergonomically designed hub for secure grip and precise control during insertion.
Bnefits
- Specially designed 24G x 19 mm straight IV catheter to access smaller, fragile vessels in paediatric and neonatal patients.
- Catheter made from BD Vialon™ biomaterial, which softens once in the vein, improving comfort, allowing longer dwell times and helping to reduce mechanical phlebitis.
- BD Instaflash™ needle technology provides rapid visual confirmation of vessel entry via an immediate blood flashback, supporting first-stick success.
- Non-ported design with straight cannula construction simplifies line management in small patients and reduces potential sites of contamination.
- Ergonomically shaped hub and stable grip surfaces to aid controlled insertion and secure handling even in challenging access situations.
- Colour-coded yellow hub for easy identification of 24G size and quick selection in busy clinical environments.
- Compatible with standard luer-lock IV administration sets and accessories for infusion therapy and medication delivery.
- Sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use device to support infection prevention and patient safety.
- Available in boxes of 50 cannulas to support routine use in hospitals, paediatric wards, neonatal units, emergency departments and specialist clinics.
Indications
- Peripheral intravenous cannulation in paediatric, neonatal and other patients with small or fragile veins where a 24G catheter is clinically appropriate.
- Short-term administration of IV fluids, medications and electrolytes via peripheral veins.
- Peripheral blood sampling through an indwelling cannula when permitted by local protocols and device labelling.
- Use in hospital, emergency, theatre, day-case and outpatient settings that require reliable small-gauge IV access.
- Supportive IV access in aesthetic and dermatology practice when peripheral cannulation is required for fluid administration or adjunctive therapies.
Composition
- Catheter: BD Vialon™ polyurethane biomaterial, 24G (0.7 mm outer diameter) x 19 mm length (0.75 inch).
- Introducer needle: stainless steel bevelled IV needle with BD Instaflash™ flashback technology.
- Hub: colour-coded yellow polymer hub to indicate 24G gauge, with ergonomic grip design.
- Protective needle cover: rigid polymer shield to maintain needle sterility prior to use.
- Device configuration: non-ported, straight peripheral IV cannula with standard luer-lock connection to IV sets.
- Sterility: sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use medical device supplied ready for clinical use.
Formulation
- Peripheral IV catheter, 24G x 0.7 mm x 19 mm (0.75 inch), non-ported, straight cannula constructed from BD Vialon™ biomaterial with stainless steel introducer needle and BD Instaflash™ technology, sterile and non-pyrogenic, intended for single use only.
Packaging
- Box of 50 individually packaged BD Neoflon™ Pro IV Catheters (24G x 0.75").
- Each catheter supplied in a sterile, peel-open blister or pouch with protective needle cover and clearly printed product identification, gauge and lot number.
- Outer carton labelled with BD Neoflon™ Pro branding, reference number 391380, gauge (24G), catheter length (19 mm / 0.75"), yellow colour coding, sterility status, expiry date, and regulatory markings including CE mark (where applicable).
- Packaging designed for convenient storage in clinical areas such as paediatric wards, NICU, emergency and theatre environments.
Usage
- Verify that the product, gauge (24G) and length (19 mm) are appropriate for the intended patient and procedure before use.
- Inspect the package for damage and check the expiry date; do not use if packaging is opened, damaged or expired.
- Prepare the patient and intended insertion site using aseptic technique and local clinical protocols.
- Remove the catheter from its sterile packaging, maintaining sterility of the catheter and needle.
- Stabilise the target vein and insert the BD Neoflon™ Pro IV Catheter with bevel up at an appropriate angle, observing for flashback via BD Instaflash™ technology to confirm vessel entry.
- Advance the catheter into the vein according to institutional protocol while withdrawing the introducer needle, taking care not to reinsert the needle into the catheter once withdrawn.
- Connect the catheter hub to the prescribed IV administration set, extension line or injection cap via the luer-lock connection and secure the cannula with appropriate fixation and dressing.
- Regularly assess the site for signs of infiltration, phlebitis, infection or occlusion and follow institutional guidelines for dwell time and line care.
- On completion of therapy or if complications occur, remove the catheter according to local procedures and discard the entire device as sharps/clinical waste; do not reuse.
Contraindications
- Do not use in patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to any component of the device (e.g. polyurethane or stainless steel).
- Contraindicated for arterial cannulation, central venous access or any application not consistent with a peripheral IV catheter.
- Do not insert the cannula into areas with active infection, inflammation, burns or significant skin compromise.
- Not intended for reuse; reuse of single-use IV catheters significantly increases the risk of infection, catheter damage and device failure.
- Do not reinsert a partially or fully withdrawn needle into the catheter, as this may damage the catheter and increase the risk of embolisation or catheter failure.
Adverse Effects
- Local complications at the insertion site, including pain, redness, swelling, bruising, infiltration or extravasation of infusate.
- Phlebitis or thrombophlebitis, particularly if dwell times exceed recommended limits or site care protocols are not followed.
- Infection or sepsis associated with poor aseptic technique or prolonged cannula dwell time.
- Catheter occlusion or malfunction requiring replacement of the device.
- Rare risk of catheter breakage or embolisation if misused or if the needle is reinserted into the catheter.
- Systemic complications such as air embolism or fluid overload if IV therapy is not managed correctly.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extremes of heat or cold.
- Keep in original packaging until point of use to maintain sterility.
- Do not use if packaging is wet, torn or otherwise compromised, or if the product is past its expiry date.
- Protect from crushing, bending or other mechanical damage that could affect device performance.
- Store out of reach of unauthorised persons and children.
