Peripheral IV Catheter

Introcan Safety^® Deep Access

Introcan Safety^® Deep Access is a longer IV catheter designed for ultrasound-guided insertion into deeper veins, often needed for patients with difficult venous access. Short IV catheters have been associated with complications such as dislodgement leading to extravasation or infiltration. Introcan Safety^® Deep Access allows more catheter to reside in the vessel helping to reduce the risk of those complications. It is an alternative to multiple short length peripheral IV catheters which don’t last the required duration of therapy or, is a simpler to insert, cost-effective alternative to a midline catheter.

Why Short Peripheral IV Catheters Fail?

90% of short peripheral IV catheters fail before treatment is finished⁽¹⁾, with half failing within the first 24 hours⁽²⁾.

Common reasons for failure include the catheter becoming dislodged, infiltration or extravasation, or phlebitis.

Patients with difficult venous access such as those with a high BMI, small or damaged veins, cancer patients, or people with a history of IV drug use are more likely to experience catheter failure.

Repeated failed cannulation attempts can have a significant impact on patients, healthcare resources and financial costs. For patients, each unsuccessful attempt not only causes additional pain but also increases the risk of infection. From a clinical perspective, repeated failures consume valuable time and resources. If reliable vascular access cannot be established with a short IV catheter, clinicians may be forced to resort to more invasive, time-consuming and expensive alternatives.
