IV Catheters

BD Vialon™ Biomaterial
The material difference in vascular access

BD Vialon biomaterial has been clinically proven to offer indwelling superiority and reduced catheter related complications. The smoother surface of the BD Vialon biomaterial dramatically reduces catheter drag upon insertion and formation of catheter-related thrombosis during indwelling periods.

Once inside the vein, the BD Vialon catheter softens, which reduces irritation to the intima (the inner lining) of the vein. This superior softening capability allows the catheter to conform to the natural lie of the vessel, resulting in less pressure to the vessel walls, and reducing the risk of vessel wall penetration.

The thinwall design of the BD Vialon biomaterial provides higher flow rates than FEP catheters without compromising catheter strength.
