Smiths medical’s optiva® I.V. Catheter provides superior insertion and ease of use by featuring an electropolished “v” point needle, finely tapered catheter shoulders, thin walled construction, radiopacity and incorporates ocrilon® polyurethane catheter tubing. Ocrilon® polyurethane is firm upon insertion of the cannula, then softens to conform in the vein. Ocrilon® is a clear, radiopaque polyurethane, allowing for easy flashback visualization. A comparative, randomized clinical study of the risk factors for infusionrelated phlebitis found ocrilon® polyurethane catheter material to reduce the risk of phlebitis by nearly 60% as compared with fep polymer (relative risk = 0.41;p = 0.007).* these catheters are also available in a sideport version hub as optiva®2 I.V.
