Description
The VanishPoint safety IV catheter utilizes patented
automated retraction technology similar to that of the VanishPoint syringe and
blood collection tube holder. It is easy to use and allows for one-handed
venipuncture. It contains an integrated safety mechanism that, when activated,
automatically retracts the introducer needle, which remains safely retracted
inside the housing until disposal, reducing the risk of a needlestick injury.
Unlike other IV catheters, VanishPoint IV catheters do not require additional
components such as sliding sheaths, metal clips or activation buttons.
VanishPoint catheters are available in a variety of sizes, each color-coded
according to international standards to indicate the catheter gauge.
