Peripheral IV Catheter
Introcan Safety® Deep Access is a longer length IV catheter which is designed to facilitate ultrasound guided access to deeper veins, a procedure usually required for patients with difficult venous access. Introcan Safety® Deep Access serves as an alternative to multiple short length peripheral IV catheters which don’t last the required duration of therapy, or, as a simple to insert, more cost-effective alternative to a midline.

Reasons for catheter failure include; dislodgment, infiltration, extravasation and phlebitis. Peripheral IV catheter (PIVC) failure is more common in patients with difficult venous access (DVA) including those with a high BMI or with smaller or damaged superficial veins, such as those undergoing chemotherapy treatment or with a history of IV drug use.
Mutiple failed cannulation attempts can have significant impact on patients, finances and resources:
