BD Insyte Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheter, 20G x 1"

The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ and BD Insyte-N™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheters are designed to enhance clinician safety and improve patient outcomes. With push-button activation, the needle retracts into a fully encapsulated chamber, significantly reducing the risk of needlestick injuries. The BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology provides immediate confirmation of vessel entry, promoting higher first-stick success rates. These catheters are available in various sizes, including a 20-gauge option with a 1-inch length, an inner diameter of 0.8 mm, and an outer diameter of 1.08 mm, supporting a gravity flow rate of 65 mL/min and a high-pressure rating of 300 psi. The hub is color-coded pink for easy identification.
