Diffusion catheter tip
- Features multiple teardrop-shaped holes that diffuse flow and reduce forces that can cause catheter motion in the vein by up to 67% during contrast enhanced CT procedure.
- Enables higher flow rates on smaller gauge catheters (22 to 24 G) for power injection.*
- The IV catheter reduces the destabilizing effects that can lead to extravasation.
Integrated system
- The system features an all-in-one catheter and extension set built for your power injector's 325 psi setting.
- A unique all-in-one closed system designed to address common CT IV challenges during power injection procedures.*
- Needs fewer add-on devices, minimizing the number of manipulations (which can lead to touch contamination and accidental disconnections.)3,4 *
Stabilization platform
- The BD Nexiva™ Diffusics™ system incorporates a built-in stabilization platform.
- Minimizes movement and manipulation at the insertion site reducing accidental dislodgement.2**
BD Instaflash™ needle technology
- Designed to confirm immediate vessel entry.
- Quick blood visualization may help improve insertion success and therefore reduce insertion attempts.
BD Vialon™ catheter material
- Clinically demonstrated to dwell up to 144 hours.
- Reduces the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.5†
Luer adapter
- The system features a luer adapter with indication of maximum power injection flow rates and pressure setting.
