The B. Braun Introcan Safety IV Catheter 18 G × 1¼″ (4252560-02) is a high-flow, peripheral IV catheter designed for adult intravenous access requiring reasonably large gauge and moderate length. The 18-gauge lumen enables effective infusion rates, making it suitable for therapies requiring rapid administration of fluids or medications. The relatively short length (1¼″) supports typical peripheral venous access (e.g., antecubital or forearm veins) without the added complexity of deep or extended catheter placement.

This catheter distinguishes itself through its built-in passive safety mechanism. The Introcan Safety line features a needle shield that activates automatically when the stylet is withdrawn, eliminating extra steps and reducing risk of needlestick injuries to clinicians. In addition, the device incorporates “Double Flashback” technology: separate flashback chambers for needle entry and catheter entry, giving visible confirmation of both venous access and catheter advancement. These features enhance user confidence and help promote first‐stick success—especially in busy clinical environments.

Constructed of FEP polymer and housed in a straight hub design, this catheter balances durability with patient comfort. The straight hub simplifies insertion and connection to infusion sets, while the FEP material offers flush flow characteristics and is visible under imaging due to radiopacity (typical of the Introcan Safety series). As a single-use, sterile device, the box of 50 format supports efficient inventory management in hospital or clinic settings. Overall, the 18 G × 1¼″ Introcan Safety catheter is a reliable choice for situations requiring standard peripheral access with enhanced safety and performance features.
