I.V Cannula

An I.V (intravenous) cannula is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a patient’s vein for the purpose of delivering fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. It consists of a small, hollow tube that is inserted into the vein, and a larger, external tube that is connected to the end of the small tube.

To use an I.V cannula, a healthcare provider will sterilize the patient’s skin and insert the small, hollow tube into a vein using aseptic technique. The larger, external tube is then connected to the end of the small tube, and fluids or medications are delivered through the external tube and into the patient’s bloodstream via the small, hollow tube.

I.V cannulas are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings to deliver a wide range of fluids and medications, including saline solutions, electrolytes, antibiotics, and pain medications. They are particularly useful for administering fluids and medications that need to be delivered quickly or in large quantities, and for administering fluids and medications over an extended period of time.

Overall, I.V cannulas are a vital tool for delivering essential fluids and medications to patients, and are an important part of the medical profession. They allow for precise delivery of medications and fluids, and are an essential component of many medical treatments and procedures.
