The BD 382277 Angiocath™ IV Catheter for Special Placement (12 G × 3″) is a high-flow, large-bore intravenous access device engineered for critical care and emergency settings where rapid fluid administration or large volume infusion is required. The 12-gauge lumen offers one of the largest bore sizes available in a peripheral IV catheter format, and the extended 3-inch insertion length enables deeper venous access, which may be necessary in trauma, surgical or other high-flow infusion scenarios. The FEP polymer construction ensures that the catheter remains flexible yet durable, and the incorporation of radiopaque materials ensures that positioning can be verified via imaging when necessary.

Clinically, this catheter features a clear, well-designed flash chamber (the area where blood return is seen when venous access is successful), which provides rapid confirmation of vessel entry, improving confidence and reducing the risk of misplacement. The radiopaque catheter body allows for visual confirmation under fluoroscopy or x-ray when needed, which is especially useful in complex placement environments (for example, in operative suites or interventional radiology settings). Its design balances ease of insertion with the demands of high-flow infusion, making it suitable for contrast media delivery, transfusion, or large volume resuscitation.

From a procedural standpoint, the BD 382277 is a single-use, sterile device, packaged in a tray or peel-pack configuration and supplied in boxes of 10 units. Institutions that require large bore peripheral access for trauma, surgical, or ICU settings will find this catheter particularly useful because of its combination of size (12 G), length (3″), and radiographic visibility. Its construction and materials provide the user with the reliability needed when rapid access and high flow rates are crucial.

This medical supply or implant item is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's packaging, which remains undamaged. The inner and outer packaging is intact, ensuring the product's integrity and suitability for medical use.
