BD VeloCath™ Intravascular Catheter

Upper Copy¹ field in Tab Coiled tip guidewire engineered to navigate tortuous vessel anatomy for atraumatic delivery. Designed to minimize the need for unnecessary needle advancement that may lead to vessel damage and complications.

Designed to reduce blood flow into the catheter hub after insertion until a secure Luer connection is made. 

Air embolism is a potentially fatal complication associated with acute central line insertion procedures. The blood control valve is designed to reduce the risk of an air embolism.

The BD VeloCath^™ IV Catheter is designed to deliver fluids rapidly, allowing up to 3,720 mL/hr.

According to BD market research1, emergency clinicians estimate that about 20% of acute CVCs are placed unnecessarily in the Emergency Department, simply because peripheral IV access could not be attained first. BD VeloCath™ IV Catheter can be a faster, less invasive option in many emergent situations.

Over 33% of adult patients have difficult venous access (DVA)2. In many of these patients, peripheral venous access is difficult or impossible to obtain using conventional methods, presenting a unique challenge to clinicians. In these situations, an alternative strategy must be pursued.

 BD VeloCath™ IV Catheter allows clinicians to get vascular access quicker compared to the time it takes to perform a full central line procedure. Like a peripheral IV, this device requires fewer procedural steps than a traditional acute CVC, which means that this procedure is simpler, less invasive and allows the patient to receive therapy faster compared to an acute CVC.

We have basic, intermediate and max barrier access kits for use depending on the needs of the patient and the nature of the procedure.
