The Exel Safelet IV Catheter 18G × 1¼″ is engineered for dependable peripheral vascular access in everyday clinical contexts. With an 18‑gauge size, the catheter offers a strong balance between flow capacity and usability — suitable for standard infusions, medication administration, and fluid therapy in adult patients. The 1¼″ length helps ensure sufficient insertion depth for most peripheral veins while minimizing excess catheter length. The packaging format (50 per box, 4 boxes per case) supports efficient supply for units with regular catheter turnover.

Beyond its size, this catheter’s material and design features elevate its operational performance. The catheter’s body is made of radiopaque FEP/PTFE, which enhances durability (reducing kinks) and visibility in imaging when necessary. The transparent hub and flashback chamber allow for rapid verification of successful venous entry, facilitating smoother insertion and reducing procedure time. The wingless hub design keeps the profile low, helping in settings where space or site disturbance is a concern. The latex‑free construction further ensures patient safety, especially for individuals with latex sensitivities.

From a facility‑management viewpoint, the Safelet 26735 supports standardization and inventory simplification. Using a single model for routine IV access helps reduce user confusion, streamline training, and manage stock more easily. The packaging configuration makes storage and restocking predictable, and the design features help reduce complications from catheter tip kinks or insertion delays, which can translate into smoother workflows and potentially reduced costs. In summary, the Exel Safelet 18G × 1¼″ catheter combines reliable performance, patient‑friendly design and supply‑chain convenience for general IV therapy settings.
