The Story
B BRAUN 4251687-02 INTROCAN SAFETY IV CATHETERS Catheter IV, Straight, Safety Polyurethane, 18G x 1¼", 50/bx, 4 bx/cs
• Model: 4251687-02
• Size / Gauge / Length: 18G x 1-1/4"
• 50 Units/ Box
• 4 Boxes/ Case
The Introcan Safety® 18 Ga × 1.25″ catheter from B. Braun (Ref. 4251687‑02) is designed for scenarios requiring higher‑flow peripheral intravenous access where robust infusion or rapid fluid administration is needed. With a larger 18 gauge bore and a 1.25‑inch catheter length, this device enables greater flow capacity—making it well‑suited for adult patients in emergency, infusion or high‑acuity settings. The straight‑hub configuration simplifies insertion and securement, supporting efficient workflow and stable post‑placement performance.
Safety is at the core of this catheter’s design. The passive safety shield activates automatically at the moment of needle withdrawal, eliminating the need for clinician‑triggered activation and reducing the risk of needlestick injuries—an increasingly important factor in modern healthcare environments. The introduction of Double Flashback technology adds another layer of clinician confidence by providing two distinct visual cues: one when the needle enters the vessel and another when the catheter advances. This dual feedback supports higher first‑stick success rates, less insertion trauma and smoother access workflows.
From a materials and operational perspective, the 4251687‑02 model aligns with current institutional standards for safety and efficiency. The polyurethane catheter body lends itself to a balance of performance and patient comfort, while the absence of natural rubber latex, DEHP and PVC addresses allergy and material‑safety concerns. With a case pack of 200 units, this catheter model supports high‑volume clinical areas such as emergency departments, infusion suites and inpatient wards. Overall, the Introcan Safety® 18 Ga × 1.25″ catheter delivers a strong combination of high flow capability, clinician‑safety engineering and supply‑chain scalability.
A passive safety device sign that deploys automatically and cannot be by-passed. Designed to protect against accidental needlestick injuries to both clinicians and patients. New universal bevel allows for a wider choice of insertion angles to enhance flexibility and patient comfort.
