IV Cannula with Port – Safe, Sterile, Reliable

Safety IV Cannula

Introduction

An IV cannula is a small, flexible tube introduced into a vein to allow direct access to the bloodstream. In hospitals and clinics, IV cannulas are generally used for fluid administration, medications, nutrients, and many other uses. An IV cannula catheter is an indispensable element of the modern medical field, especially during emergencies or for long-term treatment. Insertion of the cannula into a vein is termed IV cannulation and should be carried out by trained health personnel to ensure patient safety. One of the most favored types in healthcare facilities is the IV cannula with wings and a port. The wings are used to fix the device onto the skin, while the port is used to administer extra medicines without piercing the patient again. At GST Corporation, we keep manufacturing IV cannulas designed for comfortable, safe, and easy-to-use purposes, thus suitable for hospitals, clinics, and B2B medical distributors.

What is an IV Cannula?

An IV cannula is a small hollow tube, usually flexible, that is inserted into a vein to provide fluid or drugs into the bloodstream. It is also called an IV cannula catheter, which is often used in hospitals to gain rapid and safe venous access. Cannulation is the process of inserting a cannula, which is performed by medically trained personnel. One popular variant is the winged IV cannula with port, featuring wings to hold on to and a port for the delivery of drugs without extra needle pricks. This comfortable solution helps avoid multiple punctures in the patient's veins.

Advantages of IV Cannula

1. Swift and Dependable Access to the Veins

The most important advantage of applying an IV cannula is that it provides prompt access to a patient's vein. This feature becomes most important in the emergency and critical care area, when medications or fluids need to be administered immediately.

An excellent IV cannula catheter will thus enable practitioners to save valuable time, while at the same time, reducing patient pain by reducing the number of needle insertions.

2. Facilitates Safe IV Cannulation

IV cannulation is the insertion of a cannula into a vein. An IV cannula designed well, with, for example, a flashback chamber confirming correct placement with the backflow of blood, assists nurses and physicians in performing the procedure safely and with ease.

This lessens the chances of:

• Failed placements

• Vein damage

• Hematoma (leakage of blood into the skin surface)

3. Lesser Need for an Extended Stay of the Hekro For Needle Insertion

From a few hours up to two days, an IV cannula catheter remains inserted into the vein, permitting a continuous infusion of:

• IV fluids

• Antibiotics

• Chemotherapy drugs

• Painkillers

Hence, inserting another needle for every injection becomes unnecessary, which poses less discomfort to patients and is an efficient act for medical personnel.

4. Enhanced Infusion Control and Drug Delivery

With an IV cannula with a wing and with port, medical professionals have a secondary injection port via which they can give medications without interrupting the primary IV line. This is extremely useful in hospital settings where several drugs are given during the day.

Injection Port Explained Simply:

A miniature inbuilt valve on the cannula through which a syringe can be attached to administer medicine without having to take out the cannula.

5. Stable Fixation with Winged Design

The winged IV cannula with port features flexible wings on both sides of the catheter hub. The wings provide ease of handling for the cannula during insertion as well as securing it firmly in place with adhesive tape.

• Advantages of the winged type:

• Reduces accidental displacement

• Improves control during insertion

• Increases patient safety and comfort

Key Features of IV Cannula

The IV cannula, or IV cannula catheter, is an essential medical device for IV cannulation – the procedure of inserting a cannula into a vein for administering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into the blood. Our IV cannula with a wing with port at GST Corporation is created for safety, convenience, and high performance in clinical settings.

1. Valve Injection Port 

The wing-tipped IV cannula with port features an internal injection port wherein medical staff can dispense medication without having to replace a new needle every time. This not only minimizes the discomfort of the patient but streamlines workflow during high-volume clinical environments.

2. Medical-Grade, Flexible Catheter

The IV cannula catheter consists of a biocompatible, non-toxic PTFE or polyurethane material. Once IV cannulation has been successfully carried out, the steel needle is withdrawn, but the soft catheter stays within the vein, reducing trauma or irritation.

3. Wings for Easy Fixation

The IV cannula with a wing with port has two side wings that enable medical personnel to safely tape the device onto the patient's skin. The wings enhance handling on insertion and avoid accidental displacement following fixation.

4. Color-Coded Hub

Every IV cannula catheter is color-coded according to its gauge size (for example, pink for 20G, green for 18G). This facilitates rapid choice in busy settings such as ICUs, operating theatres, or emergency wards.

5. Flashback Chamber

An open flashback chamber enables medical professionals to visualize blood return upon entry of the needle into the vein. This verifies successful cannulation of the IV before advancing the catheter.

6. Luer Lock Connector

The IV cannula hub features a universal luer lock fitting that securely fits with IV sets, syringes, and infusion lines. This avoids disconnection or leakage during fluid delivery.

7. Sterile, Single-Use Packaging

Every IV cannula catheter is separately packed in a sterile blister to prevent contamination. They are pre-assembled and single-use only to provide maximum patient safety.

Compliance: Compliant with ISO 10555, CE marking, and international sterilization standards.

8. Available in Various Sizes

GST Corporation provides IV cannulas in a range of gauges, from large bore (14G) to fine (24G), to meet different medical requirements – from fast fluid replenishment to slow drug delivery.

Use:

• 14G/16G: Emergency fluid resuscitation

• 18G/20G: General medical application

• 22G/24G: Pediatric and elderly patients

9. Latex-Free and DEHP-Free 

IV cannula catheters are latex-free and DEHP-free, ensuring safety for patients with known chemical or latex sensitivities.

10. Optional Safety Feature 

We also have a Safety IV Cannula model that is equipped with a safety needle shield. This feature provides automatic covering of the needle once used to safeguard healthcare personnel from unintended needle-stick injury.

Conclusion

The IV cannula is a vital piece of equipment in contemporary medical practice, facilitating safe and effective IV cannulation for drug and fluid administration. With state-of-the-art features such as the IV cannula catheter for easy insertion and the IV cannula with a wing with port for convenience and stability, it improves patient comfort and clinical effectiveness. GST Corporation is dedicated to providing high-quality IV cannulas that are compatible with international medical standards. Relied upon by hospitals and healthcare professionals, GST Corporation delivers precision, safety, and reliability in all products, enabling improved outcomes and more rapid treatment in healthcare environments.
