The B Braun 4254511-02 Introcan Safety IV Catheter with Wings is a 22-gauge, 1-inch IV catheter made with FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) material. Designed with patient and clinician safety in mind, this catheter includes a passive safety mechanism that automatically activates after insertion to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries.
