Nexiva IV Catheter
The Nexiva IV catheter offers secure insertion thanks to its BD Vialon polyurethane biomaterial, which softens upon contact with the body. Sterile and latex-free, this peripheral intravenous catheter has automatic needle protection and a blood flashback visualization window. Its closed system minimizes contamination risks. Available in 22G and 24G.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 22G and 24G gauge of the Nexiva catheter?
The 22G gauge (25 mm, blue colour code) is suitable for standard infusions in adults. The 24G gauge (19 mm, yellow colour code) is finer and shorter, adapted for fragile veins, paediatric patients or elderly people.
How does the Nexiva catheter needle protection system work?
After insertion, the protection mechanism activates automatically and completely covers the needle bevel irreversibly. This passive system requires no additional manipulation and immediately protects the caregiver against accidental needlesticks.
Why does BD Vialon material improve patient comfort?
BD Vialon polyurethane is a hemocompatible biomaterial that softens with body heat contact. This property reduces mechanical irritation of the venous wall and decreases catheter-related complications throughout the duration of placement.
