BD 382623 - Catheter 22gx1" Insyte Autoguard IV Winged Blood Cntrl Blue 50/BX
The BD 382623 Insyte Autoguard IV Catheter with Blood Control Technology is designed to improve both clinician safety and patient comfort during IV insertions. This 22-gauge, 1-inch winged catheter is engineered with BDs innovative blood control valve, which minimizes blood exposure during insertion, reducing the risk of bloodborne pathogen transmission.
Its Autoguard safety mechanism instantly retracts the needle with the push of a button, protecting healthcare providers from accidental needlestick injuries. The winged design enhances stability and insertion control, making it especially effective in challenging venous access situations. Color-coded blue for easy identification, this catheter provides a safe, sterile, and reliable solution for IV therapy.
