Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter

FYI: From insertion to advancing the catheter to needle removal, the Introcan
Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter is designed to avert needlestick injuries. Its fully

protection against blood exposure. And the integrated stabilization platform
minimizes catheter movement within the vessel.
