BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter with Blood Control (20 Gauge, 1 Inch) | 383516

The BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter is a single port peripheral IV catheter engineered to reduce catheter related complications, minimize insertion attempts, and support longer dwell times. Designed for use in acute care, infusion, and procedural settings, the Nexiva system integrates BD's proprietary Vialon™ biomaterial and Instaflash™ needle technology into a closed, blood control design that addresses the most common failure points in peripheral IV access.

BD Vialon™ Biomaterial for Extended Dwell

The catheter is constructed from BD Vialon™ biomaterial, a proprietary polymer that softens and becomes more flexible after insertion as it warms to body temperature. This reduces mechanical irritation to the vessel wall and supports longer dwell times, aligning with current Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice guidelines for clinically indicated site rotation rather than routine catheter replacement on a fixed schedule.

BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology

The Instaflash™ needle provides rapid, visible blood flashback upon successful vessel entry, giving clinicians immediate confirmation of correct placement. Faster visual feedback supports improved first attempt insertion success, reducing the number of venipuncture attempts and the associated patient discomfort, vessel damage, and staff time.

Key Features

• 20 gauge, 1 inch catheter length for standard peripheral IV access
• Single port closed system with integrated blood control to minimize blood exposure during insertion and connection
• Winged hub design provides a secure grip during insertion and supports stabilization after placement
• Stabilization platform minimizes catheter movement post insertion, reducing the risk of phlebitis, infiltration, and unplanned restarts
• BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens post-insertion to reduce vessel wall irritation and support extended dwell
• BD Instaflash™ needle technology enables rapid blood visualization for improved first attempt success
• Closed system design reduces the risk of blood exposure and needlestick injury during catheter placement

Intended Use

Indicated for peripheral intravenous access in adult and pediatric patients requiring IV fluid administration, medication delivery, or blood sampling. Appropriate for acute care, emergency, infusion therapy, and procedural settings.
