The Safelet 16G × 2″ catheter by Exel is designed for use in clinical settings where a larger bore peripheral intravenous access is required—such as moderate to high‑flow infusions, transfusions, or situations requiring dependable vascular access. With a 16‑gauge diameter, it provides enhanced fluid delivery capacity compared to smaller gauges, while the 2‑inch (≈ 54.5 mm) length ensures secure placement in suitable peripheral veins while minimizing excess catheter length. This makes it an optimal balance for settings that require strong performance without resorting to central access.

What distinguishes this catheter is its attention to performance‑oriented design and user‑friendly features. The catheter body uses radiopaque PTFE/FEP material, which helps resist kinking and allows for imaging verification when needed, supporting safe and efficient access. The transparent hub and flashback chamber provide immediate visual confirmation of venous entry, helping reduce insertion attempts. The color‑coded medium grey hub aids quick gauge identification during busy workflows, and the dispenser pack design supports efficient stocking and usage. Importantly, the latex‑free construction broadens its suitability across patient populations, including those with latex sensitivities.

From an operational perspective, the packaging format (50 units per box, 4 boxes per case) supports institutional supply‑chain needs by allowing standardization and simplified inventory management. Facilities that standardize on the Safelet line benefit from consistent design across gauges, which aids clinician familiarity, training, and procedural efficiency. In summary, the Safelet 16G × 2″ catheter blends high flow capability, thoughtful design, and supply chain practicality—making it a strong choice for general infusion units, emergency departments, and other high‑use peripheral IV settings.
