Introducer Needle
Kitkath I.V. Cannula comes with siliconised, back cut ground, bevelled stainless steel needle that results in smooth and comfortable venipuncture.
Needle Hub
The full collar needle hub in Kitkath I.V. Cannula prevents destabilisation or bending of the needle at the time of insertion. The thumb rest on the needle assists in better grip insertion
Needle Cover
The needle cover prevents accidental damage due to needle and catheter, and protects the needle and catheter from contamination.
Catheter

The Kitkath I.V. Cannula’s flashback chamber enables monitoring of rapid flash of blood after venipuncture. It also helps in identifying the correct placement of catheter. The chamber is designed to prevent spillage of blood.
