The Wings are made up of nontoxic, medical-grade polypropylene compatible with any medication. The injection port and the receiving end of the wing have a 6% luer taper as per ISO:80369.The Needle is made from cold-rolled stainless steel strips. The tip of the needle has a short bevel ‘back’ cut point for easy catheterization and minimal pain and risk of perforation.

With so many patients to take care of every day, it’s easy to get carried away by the pressure of the job. However, haste can sometimes pave the way for dire consequences. In the context of healthcare, it can lead to unfortunate incidents like needle stick injuries (NSIs), which can give rise to dangerous blood-borne diseases like HIV and AIDS. As per WHO statistics, approximately 3 million healthcare professionals fall victim to NSIs every year, making NSIs a grave medical issue. To help healthcare workers keep the risks of NSIs at bay, HMD offers highly precise, reliable, and durable Cathy + Neo I.V. cannulas, equipped with leading-edge safety features to ensure an accident-free operation. Designed especially for neonates and children, Cathy+NEO I.V. Cannulas come with a one-of-its-kind “Instant Flashback Visualisation” feature, which facilitates successful cannulation in the first attempt, and is especially useful for neonates and children, as it causes minimal trauma and pain. The I.V.  Cannula comes with SIPCLIP(sharps injury prevention), which is the first line of defence in our I.V. cannulas. It acts as a protective shield when the needle is extracted from the catheter, post cannulation. This extra layer of protection prevents accidental needle pricks, provided it is used in accordance with the general safety procedures during use and disposal. Plus, it also comes with an auto-protection module, an automatic, intuitive mechanism that requires no further training or instruction of the medical staff.
