McKesson's Prevent R push-button safety IV catheters sample blood or administer fluids intravenously. The retractable safety IV catheters feature a push-button style needle retraction safety mechanism. Ergonomically designed to address clinicians' needs, the retractable safety catheters contain push-off tabs and contoured molding for a secure grip and to enable one-handed catheter advancement. Clinicians can use one-handed or two-handed techniques. The flashback chamber provides a clear visual confirmation of successful venipuncture. Winged hub options provide a larger surface area for easier application of tape or other catheter securement devices and are ideal for accessing small or fragile veins.
