18G IV Catheter – Green Peripheral IV Cannula, 50 Pcs-Pack

The 18G IV Catheter (Green) is a peripheral intravenous cannula designed to establish venous access for the administration of compatible IV fluids, medications, blood products and other intravenous therapies. The 18-gauge catheter provides relatively high flow compared with smaller-gauge peripheral cannulas, making it commonly suitable for applications where efficient fluid administration or blood transfusion is required, subject to the patient's vein size, clinical condition and healthcare professional's judgement. The catheter typically consists of a flexible cannula positioned over an introducer needle. After successful venipuncture, the needle is withdrawn while the flexible catheter remains within the vein and can be connected to compatible IV administration equipment. 18G is conventionally identified by green colour coding in widely used peripheral IV catheter standards, although the actual manufacturer's packaging should always be checked. Suitable for hospitals, clinics, emergency departments, operating theatres, ambulances and other healthcare facilities.
