Overview

BD Saf-T-Intima™ Safety System is an over-the-needle, IV catheter. It features radiopaque BD Vialon™ Catheter Material, a needle attached to a wire stylet, wings for assisting with insertion and for catheter securement, integrated extension tubing, clamp, straight or Y-adapter, pre-attached BD® PRN Adapter, vent plug (Y-adapter only) and needle shield.
