A 20G catheter (1.1 mm OD) is acceptable for blood product transfusion in most adults when a larger gauge is not available. Flow rate is lower than 18G (~65 vs ~105 mL\/min), so packed red cell transfusions may take longer. For rapid transfusion or massive haemorrhage protocols, 18G or larger is preferred. The Introcan Safety 3 PUR material does not interact with blood products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does polyurethane reduce phlebitis risk compared to FEP or PTFE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPolyurethane (PUR) has a higher tensile strength than FEP but softens toward body temperature (~37°C), reducing catheter tip rigidity against the vein wall. This thermosoftening property is associated with lower mechanical phlebitis rates in observational studies. The Introcan Safety 3 PUR catheter is specifically designed to exploit this property for extended dwell time in peripheral veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: When should a clinician choose 20G over 18G for IV access?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n20G is preferred when: (1) the patient's vein diameter cannot accommodate 18G without trauma, (2) access is needed in hand\/wrist\/antecubital veins with limited diameter, (3) therapies are low-volume infusions not requiring high flow rates, or (4) in paediatric adolescent patients. 18G remains first-line for blood products, contrast CT, and rapid fluid resuscitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the passive safety mechanism activate automatically?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The Introcan Safety 3 passive guard activates automatically on needle withdrawal — the clinician does not need to manipulate a button or slide. Upon pulling the needle out, a spring-loaded clip audibly engages over the needle tip. This design meets the sharps injury prevention requirements of the Singapore Workplace Safety and Health Act and EU Directive 2010\/32\/EU on sharps injuries in healthcare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Introcan Safety 3 PUR 20G available in Singapore and HSA-registered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
