Product Overview

The 22G IV Catheter is a peripheral intravenous cannula used to establish venous access for the administration of fluids, electrolytes, and medications. The 22-gauge size is typically used when a moderate flow rate is required, balancing the need for fluid volume with the stability of the catheter in the vein.

How It Works

Once inserted into the vein, the flexible wings help stabilize the catheter against the skin. The integrated port allows clinicians to inject bolus medications through a secondary needle or syringe without disturbing the primary infusion line, maintaining continuous access while minimizing the risk of catheter displacement.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure all necessary aseptic techniques are followed during preparation and insertion.
Verify vein patency before securing the catheter.
Use the wings to assist in positioning the catheter correctly against the skin surface.
Secure the site with medical tape or a transparent dressing to prevent movement.

Maintenance and Safety

Sterility: This is a single-use, sterile medical device. Once the packaging is breached, it must be used immediately.
Disposal: Dispose of the used catheter in an appropriate sharps container according to local biohazard protocols.
Monitoring: Regularly monitor the insertion site for signs of phlebitis, infiltration, or infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the flow rate for a 22G catheter? A 22G catheter is designed for moderate flow rates, suitable for most standard fluid and medication administrations.
Why are the wings important? The wings provide a larger surface area to help stabilize the catheter, reducing the risk of the device moving within the vein.
Can I use this for rapid fluid resuscitation? While 22G is suitable for many applications, rapid resuscitation often requires larger gauges (e.g., 14G or 16G) to accommodate higher flow volumes.
