While flushing may seem like just another task, it’s an important part of maintaining patency of the line and reducing the risk of complications, including occlusion, or premature catheter failure. In addition, flushing before and after medication is a strongly recommended step in medication delivery, helping prevent contact between incompatible medicines and ensure that the entire dose of medication is delivered.

A routine task with big impact

Impact to solution contamination
Designed to prevent solution from entering a nonsterile area of the syringe, the product helps reduce the risk of solution contamination. The saline prefilled flush products feature a sterile fluid pathway.
Impact to catheter dwell time
A failed IV catheter means pain, dissatisfaction, prolongation of care and venous depletion, compounded by the need to treat minor and severe IV catheter failure-related sequelae.1
Reduced medication errors
The syringe supports efforts to reduce the risk of medication errors by meeting Joint Commission and ISMP medication labeling guidelines.
Varying sizes to meet your flushing needs
The syringe is conveniently available in 3-mL, 5-mL and 10-mL sizes. All of these sizes feature a consistent barrel diameter that may help lower the risk of catheter damage caused by injection pressure.
