The Exel Safelet catheter SKU 26741 (20G × 1″) is designed for general peripheral IV access, offering a balanced combination of flow capacity and ease of insertion in everyday clinical settings. Its 20‑gauge diameter is a common size for many infusion, medication or fluid therapy uses—large enough for most routine applications, yet small enough to be comfortably inserted in standard peripheral veins. The 1″ (approximately 27.7 mm) catheter length is sufficient for most adult peripheral sites while reducing unnecessary catheter extension, making it a practical choice for wards, clinics, and general care units.

What stands out about this catheter is its build quality and intelligent design elements. The body is crafted from radiopaque FEP/PTFE material which supports both durability and imaging visibility—a feature increasingly important in settings where catheter placement may need verification. The wingless design helps streamline insertion, and the translucent flashback chamber gives clinicians rapid visual confirmation of venous access. The color‑coded hub system simplifies gauge selection and inventory management. And crucially, the latex‑free construction expands its use safely to patients with latex sensitivities.

From a facility operations perspective, the 50 per box / 4 boxes per case packaging supports standardized stocking and usage workflows. Having a single catheter model like the Safelet 26741 simplifies procurement, training, and inventory across multiple units or sites. Because the design focuses on ease‑insertion, clarity of flashback, and material resilience, it helps reduce complications such as tip‑kinking or occlusion. In short, the Exel Safelet 20G × 1″ catheter is a reliable, mid‑range peripheral IV option that balances performance, cost‑effectiveness, and clinical ease.
