BD Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System with BD Dual Port 24 G x 0.75" (19 mm)

Why Choose the BD Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System – 24G?

The 24 Gauge configuration of the Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System is designed for the patient populations and vein conditions where a larger gauge catheter would cause unnecessary trauma or be impossible to place: paediatric patients, elderly patients with fragile and thin-walled veins, oncology patients with chemotherapy-damaged vasculature, and any clinical situation where minimising vascular trauma is the primary insertion consideration. At 24G, the catheter is at the smaller end of the standard peripheral IV gauge range — appropriate for slow infusion therapies, medication delivery, and fluid maintenance where flow rates above approximately 18 mL/min are not required. The Vialon™ biomaterial softens and becomes more flexible in the vein after insertion, reducing the mechanical irritation to delicate vessel walls that is the primary source of phlebitis and early catheter failure in fragile veins. The closed system design keeps the fluid pathway sealed during insertion, significantly reducing blood exposure for the clinician. Blood control technology helps contain blood at the hub during insertion. The BD Q-Syte™ needle-free connector and dual port design allow medication delivery and flushing without disconnecting the line. The integrated stabilisation platform minimises catheter movement to reduce dislodgement and infiltration risk. Yellow colour-coded hub for immediate 24G identification.

Key Features

• 24 Gauge x 0.75" (19 mm) — micro-gauge for fragile, small, or difficult-access veins
• Pre-assembled closed IV system reduces blood exposure during insertion and therapy
• Vialon™ biomaterial softens in the vein to reduce mechanical irritation in fragile vessels
• Blood control technology helps contain blood at the hub during insertion
• Dual port (Y-site) design for simultaneous medication and flush access without line disconnection
• BD Q-Syte™ needle-free connector for safe sterile access throughout therapy
• Integrated extension tubing with built-in stabilisation platform to minimise catheter movement
• Yellow colour-coded hub for immediate 24G gauge identification
• Flow rate approximately 18 mL/min
• Sterile, single-use

Benefits

• 24G micro-gauge minimises vascular trauma during insertion in paediatric, elderly, and fragile vein patients
• Vialon biomaterial reduces phlebitis risk by softening and conforming to the vessel wall after insertion
• Closed system design significantly reduces blood exposure for clinical staff during insertion
• Blood control technology reduces hub blood exposure between needle withdrawal and cap connection
• Dual port maintains closed system integrity during medication delivery — no disconnection required
• Stabilisation platform reduces early catheter failure from movement-related dislodgement and infiltration

Clinical & Typical Applications

Paediatric patients requiring peripheral IV access where a smaller 24G catheter minimises insertion trauma and is appropriate for child-sized veins

Geriatric and elderly patients with fragile, thin-walled, or rolling veins where a 24G catheter reduces vascular trauma and improves catheter dwell time

Oncology patients with chemotherapy-damaged vasculature requiring the smallest gauge appropriate for their infusion therapy

Patients requiring slow infusion therapy — maintenance fluids, antibiotic infusions, or parenteral nutrition — where 24G flow rates are clinically adequate

Emergency and urgent care settings where IV access must be established in difficult veins with minimal trauma and a first-stick success priority

Clinical staff with occupational blood exposure risk reduction requirements where the closed system design provides additional protection during IV insertion
