A peripheral intravenous cannula is a short, thin tube designed for insertion into a peripheral vein, usually in the hand or arm, to provide temporary access to the bloodstream. It is used clinically for administering fluids, medications, or drawing blood samples over a short period, typically less than 30 days.
This device is supplied as a single-use, sterile assembly that includes an introducer needle, catheter, and often features such as wings for stabilization, injection ports, and connectors. It is not intended for central venous access and is discarded after one use to prevent infection and ensure patient safety.
