The TERUMO SURFLO 3SR‑OX2025CA (20G × 1") ETFE IV catheter is engineered for reliable peripheral intravenous access in general clinical settings. Its 20‑gauge diameter strikes a practical balance: it provides a sufficient inner lumen to allow standard infusion rates for many medications and fluid therapies, while still being small enough to minimize vessel trauma and patient discomfort. The 1‑inch length is well suited to typical superficial veins in the arms, hands, or forearms, offering an adequate profile for stable placement without excessive catheter length.

Insertion is supported by design choices intended to maximize ease and accuracy. The ultra‑sharp double‑bevel introducer needle, combined with a medical‑grade lubricant, helps the device pass through skin and subcutaneous tissue with reduced resistance. Once the needle enters the vessel, the clear preview chamber in the hub allows immediate confirmation of blood flashback, aiding correct placement before threading the catheter. The catheter itself is made of ETFE with a thin‑wall structure, allowing for flexibility and compatibility with vascular anatomy, while maintaining an optimized inner diameter to preserve flow performance.

From a workflow and safety perspective, the SURFLO 20G catheter is designed simply and effectively. The catheter is sterile and single-use, presented in tamper-evident packaging to support aseptic technique. Its latex-free construction helps reduce risk for latex-sensitive patients. Without a built-in safety mechanism (retractable needle or valve), care in handling and disposal is required, but this simplicity may reduce mechanical failure points. Overall, the 3SR‑OX2025CA offers a dependable option for standard IV access where a moderate flow, mid‑size catheter is appropriate.
