The Exel Safelet 20 G × 1″ catheter is designed to provide reliable peripheral IV access in general adult care settings. With a 20‑gauge diameter, it offers a satisfactory balance of flow capacity and ease of insertion, making it suitable for standard infusion protocols, medication administration, or routine fluid therapy. The 1‑inch length helps to reduce excess catheter extension while still enabling secure intravascular placement, contributing to patient comfort and simplifying dressing and stabilization protocols.

What truly distinguishes this catheter is its build quality and thoughtful design. The radiopaque PTFE/FEP catheter body enhances durability by resisting kinking and allows for imaging visibility if required—an important feature when inserted in a site that may require verification. The translucent flashback chamber and hub provide clinicians with immediate visual confirmation of venous entry, which promotes efficient placement and reduces insertion attempts. The color‑coded hub/cap helps staff quickly select the correct gauge, minimizing selection errors in fast‑paced clinical environments. The latex‑free construction further ensures safe suitability for patients with latex sensitivities.

From a supply‑chain and operational perspective, the packaging of 50 per box and 4 boxes per case supports standardized inventory management and easy restocking for clinical units. Because the Safelet line uses common design features across gauges (hub transparency, radiopaque body, one‑hand dispenser pack), facilities benefit from streamlined training and usage protocols regardless of gauge size. In summary, the Exel Safelet 20G × 1″ catheter offers a dependable, workflow‑friendly solution for routine IV access that balances patient comfort, clinician ease, and inventory efficiency.
