BD 382654 - IV Catheter, Winged, 16G x 1.16", Gray, 50/BX, 4 BX/CS (Continental US Only)

The BD 382654 IV Catheter is a winged, 16G x 1.16" peripheral intravenous catheter engineered for rapid, reliable vascular access in high-demand clinical scenarios. The winged design enhances control and stability during insertion, while the 16-gauge lumen supports high-flow rates essential for fluid resuscitation, blood product infusion, emergency interventions, and perioperative care. Color-coded gray for easy gauge identification, this catheter combines BDs precision manufacturing with safety-focused performance to ensure dependable access in both routine and critical care settings.

Key Benefits

The 16G diameter enables rapid fluid and blood delivery, making it ideal for trauma, surgery, and acute care environments. The winged design provides enhanced grip and maneuverability during insertion, reducing the risk of catheter movement or vein trauma. The sharp, BD-engineered needle promotes smooth venipuncture, while the catheter material supports flexibility and kink resistance. Color coding ensures fast gauge recognition, improving workflow efficiency. As a sterile, single-use device, it supports infection prevention protocols.

Compatibility and Applications

This catheter is compatible with standard IV extension sets, administration sets, infusion pumps, and needle-free connectors. Typical clinical applications include:

• Rapid fluid resuscitation
• Blood transfusions
• Emergency and trauma care
• Preoperative and intraoperative IV access
• High-volume medication delivery

It is commonly used in emergency departments, operating rooms, intensive care units, and transport medicine.

Usage Guidelines

Prepare and insert using aseptic technique. Anchor the wings for improved control during venipuncture. Once flashback confirms venous entry, advance the catheter fully into the vein and withdraw the needle safely. Secure the catheter with an appropriate dressing and attach compatible IV tubing or needle-free devices. Monitor the site regularly for patency, infiltration, or irritation. Dispose of the needle immediately into an approved sharps container.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

The BD 382654 catheter is manufactured under strict quality standards and complies with ISO requirements for intravascular catheters. It meets regulatory expectations for sterility, biocompatibility, and structural integrity. BDs engineering ensures consistent needle sharpness, catheter durability, and reliable insertion performance.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared to generic 16G catheters, the BD 382654 offers superior wing stability, smoother needle penetration, and more consistent flow performance. Competitors may lack BDs advanced catheter materials, leading to increased kinking or reduced patient comfort. BDs color-coding and precision molding enhance ease of use and reliability in fast-paced clinical settings.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This catheter is used by emergency clinicians, anesthesiologists, critical care nurses, paramedics, and perioperative teams. It is ideal for situations requiring reliable, large-bore IV access such as trauma response, rapid transfusion, dehydration management, and high-volume medication administration.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Inspect package integrity before use. Maintain strict aseptic technique during insertion and dressing changes. Stabilize the wings properly to avoid catheter migration. Flush regularly per facility protocol to maintain patency. Replace immediately if signs of phlebitis, infiltration, or occlusion occur. Never reuse the catheter or needle.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This device is intended for single use only and complies with sharps safety and infection control standards. Used needles must be discarded in approved sharps containers. Follow institutional policies for IV therapy monitoring and documentation.
