Its small gauge and short cannula make it the preferred choice for neonatal, paediatric, geriatric, and oncology patients where venous fragility or limited vessel diameter precludes use of larger gauges. The device is CE-marked under EU MDR 2017\/745, clears FDA 510(k) K213085, and conforms to ISO 10555-1 and ISO 10555-5 for sterile intravascular catheters.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Introcan Safety 3 PUR Catheter 24G represents B Braun's current-generation peripheral IV access platform, engineered specifically for patients requiring atraumatic vascular access in small or fragile veins. The 24-gauge (0.7 mm OD x 19 mm) configuration delivers approximately 22 mL\/min gravity flow — adequate for hydration, electrolyte infusions, medication administration, and non-emergent blood product transfusion in paediatric or geriatric scenarios. The yellow colour coding follows international gauge-identification convention for immediate bedside size recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polyurethane (PUR) construction softens at body temperature to reduce mechanical phlebitis risk — a clinically relevant advantage over PTFE or FEP materials in small peripheral veins. The integrated passive safety mechanism covers the needle bevel automatically upon withdrawal, reducing needlestick injury risk per EU Directive 2010\/32\/EU and Singapore WSH guidelines. The device is DEHP-free, PVC-free, and latex-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 0.95em;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background: #f0f4fa; text-align: left;\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB Braun Melsungen AG, Germany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eREF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4251127-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGauge \/ Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24G (ISO: Yellow)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOD x Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.7 mm x 19 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~22 mL\/min (gravity)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyurethane (PUR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDEHP \/ PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDEHP-free, PVC-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, single-use (EO sterilisation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafety Mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive needle protection (auto-activates)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE-marked, EU MDR 2017\/745\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFDA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e510(k) K213085\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO 10555-1:2013 \/ ISO 10555-5:2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 units\/box; 4 boxes\/carton (200 units)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeonatal and paediatric vascular access:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard 24G gauge for neonates and infants (vessel diameter 1-3 mm); recommended by INS Standards of Practice 2021.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeriatric fragile veins:\u003c\/strong\u003e PUR softens at 37 degrees C, reducing phlebitis in elderly patients with thin-walled or tortuous peripheral veins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOncology\/haematology patients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preserves remaining access sites in patients with chemotherapy-damaged vasculature or post-HSCT venous fragility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-emergent blood transfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Appropriate for packed red cells at 2-3 hours per unit; haemolysis is pressure-dependent not gauge-dependent (BCSH guidelines).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDay-surgery and ambulatory hydration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal trauma for short-dwell procedures in same-day surgical patients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalliative infusion delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Analgesic and antiemetic administration in patients with limited venous capital.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommunity Consensus Q\u0026amp;A\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is PUR preferred over PTFE for 24G catheters in fragile veins?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: PUR softens at 37 degrees C to conform to vessel geometry, reducing intimal mechanical irritation.
