Description

The Angiocath catheter in 22Gx1 size is a medical device used for vascular access and fluid administration in clinical settings. Manufactured by various medical suppliers, it features a 22-gauge (22G) needle and a 1-inch length, optimized for minimally invasive procedures such as intravenous therapy and blood sampling.

The 22-gauge needle diameter strikes a balance between ease of insertion and minimizing patient discomfort, making it suitable for accessing smaller veins commonly found in pediatric or geriatric patients.This type of catheter is typically made from materials like stainless steel or plastic, ensuring durability and compatibility with standard medical protocols.

Its design includes a catheter hub that facilitates secure connection to IV tubing or syringes, enabling fluid infusion or blood withdrawal with precision and reliability. The catheter's length of 1 inch allows for shallow insertion into superficial veins, reducing the risk of complications such as infiltration or damage to deeper tissues.

Angiocath catheters are sterile to prevent infections and are designed for single-use to maintain clinical hygiene standards. They play a crucial role in emergency departments, clinics, and hospital wards where rapid and efficient vascular access is essential for patient care.
