Description

The Peripheral IV Catheter Jelco® 22 Gauge 1 Inch is a sterile, single-use intravenous catheter designed for peripheral venous access. It is constructed from FEP polymer, ensuring flexibility, kink resistance, and smooth insertion. The catheter's 22-gauge size and 1-inch length make it suitable for patients requiring moderate flow rates, commonly used for pediatric, geriatric, and adult patients with small or fragile veins. 

This catheter features a non-blood control design, which facilitates precise insertion without additional blood containment mechanisms. The ultra-sharp needle ensures a smooth puncture, minimizing patient discomfort. Its radiopaque construction allows for easy visualization under imaging when necessary. The hub is color-coded for quick gauge identification, simplifying selection in clinical settings. 

The Jelco® Peripheral IV Catheter is indicated for short-term intravenous fluid administration, medication delivery, and blood sampling. It is suitable for use in emergency departments, intensive care units, and general medical wards. Proper aseptic technique must be maintained during insertion to prevent infection or complications such as phlebitis or infiltration.
