BD 382534 Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheter | 20 Gauge Outer Diameter | 1.16 Inch Length | Vialon Biomaterial Polyurethane Cannula | Blood Control Technology | New

Expiration: 2028/09/30

The BD 382534 Insyte™ Autoguard™ BC Shielded IV Catheter is a high-precision micro-fluidic cannula and targeted fluid delivery component engineered for benchtop fluidic transfer, hydraulic rate modeling, blood surrogate flow evaluations, and automated needle-retraction safety testing. Featuring a 20 Gauge outer cannula diameter and a 1.16 inch (29.5 mm) effective working length, this component is fabricated from proprietary BD Vialon™ polyurethane biomaterial—a flexible polymer designed to soften upon liquid exposure, minimizing vascular or wall friction and maintaining high structural kink resistance. The integrated Blood Control (BC) septum technology restricts backward fluid leakage upon needle withdrawal, while the push-button Autoguard™ spring-retraction safety mechanism instantly encapsulates the internal introducer needle upon activation. It serves as an ideal component for fluid dynamics research, automated safety device modeling, micro-bore flow rate calibration, and technical instructional displays.
