Reduced risk of infiltration / extravasation
The catheter tip features multiple teardrop-shaped holes to diffuse flow and reduce forces that can cause catheter motion in the vein by up to 67%.*3
Higher performance
The IV catheter enables higher flow rates with a smaller gauge catheter (22 to 24 G)*
Confirmed vessel entry
BD Instaflash™ needle technology incorporates a notched needle, which may improve first-stick success and reduce painful hit-and-miss insertions.
Dwell times
Proprietary BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.4†

Increased Catheter Stabilisation
Catheter stabilisation is recognised as an intervention to decrease the risk for complications and may be advantageous in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).6,8
Integrated Configuration
The Infusion Nurses Society recommends limiting the use of add-on devices to reduce the potential for contamination, additional manipulation, and disconnection.6
Increased Clinician Safety
98% reduced blood exposure during insertion due to the BD Nexiva Diffusics IV catheter preassembled system.5*
