Introcan Safety Deep Access

Ultralong Peripheral IV Catheters

Ultrasound guidance can increase first-stick success rates of peripheral vein cannulation.1 The practice provides nurses with additional visualisation of deeper peripheral veins. This practice is often used with difficult intravenous access or "DIVA" patients. 

Ultrasound Guided Peripheral IV Insertion is Not Enough

  • 0%

    of ultrasonographically guided IV catheters fail within 24 hours of placement1

  • 0 days

    median survival time of ultralong catheters1

  • 0 cm

    of the catheter in the vein increases dwell time1
