Every first stick carries risk for both the clinician and the patient, and the Prevent R is engineered to reduce it — the needle retracts fully into the catheter body with an audible click, and the internal check valve inhibits blood flow the moment the needle is withdrawn. Choose the \u003cstrong\u003estraight hub\u003c\/strong\u003e for a compact profile and routine short-dwell infusion, or the \u003cstrong\u003ewinged hub\u003c\/strong\u003e when the site needs taped or dressed securement. Both configurations are available in a \u003cstrong\u003ebox of 50\u003c\/strong\u003e or a \u003cstrong\u003ecase of 200\u003c\/strong\u003e. McKesson Brand supplies the acute care, long-term care, physician office, and home infusion markets with vascular access products that meet the same performance standards as premium national brands, and the Prevent R line is the workhorse of that portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Paragraph 2: Technical Breakdown \u0026 Materials\/Specs --\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eConstruction is polyurethane over a stainless steel introducer needle, with a plastic hub color-coded blue to the ISO standard for 22 gauge — so size identification is immediate on both the device and the packaging. The straight hub is ridged for enhanced grip and stability when connecting I.V. administration lines; the winged hub provides a larger surface area for easier application of tape or other catheter securement device. Shared across both variants: a triple-facet, back-cut bevel ground to reduce insertion drag and improve patient comfort at the puncture site, an integrated flashback chamber for clear visual confirmation of vessel entry, and a push-off tab that supports single-handed catheter advancement. Each delivers a 36 mL\/min flow rate and is rated to 300 psi, suitable for routine infusion and standard power-injection protocols within that pressure limit. The catheter is radiopaque for visualization under x-ray and other imaging, sterile and non-pyrogenic, DEHP-free, and not made with natural rubber latex. Supplied without a port, it cross-references to HCPCS C1769 and UNSPSC 42221512, and is packaged 1 per pack, 50 packs per box, 4 boxes per case. Country of origin is India; the product is not BAA or TAA compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Alert Banner: Selection \/ Sizing \/ Caregiver Tip --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"enhdme-alert-banner\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eSelection Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Infusion Nurses Society practice guidance calls for the smallest gauge and shortest length that will deliver the prescribed therapy — a 22-gauge, 1-inch catheter is the common default for adult general medical-surgical infusion, older adults with fragile veins, and most pediatric placements. Choose the \u003cstrong\u003ewinged hub\u003c\/strong\u003e when the line will be taped or dressed, when the patient is ambulatory, confused, or pediatric, or when it will dwell across multiple shifts; choose the \u003cstrong\u003estraight hub\u003c\/strong\u003e for short-dwell access and a lower profile under a dressing. Step up to a larger gauge only when the therapy requires it, such as rapid volume resuscitation or blood product administration, and confirm your facility's power-injection policy before using any peripheral catheter for CT contrast.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Paragraph 3: Durability, Real-World Use \u0026 FSA\/HSA Statement --\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn daily use, the value of a passive-feel safety mechanism shows up in the details: retraction is activated by a single push button, the needle is fully encapsulated inside a shield, and the audible lock confirms containment all the way through disposal — so the sharp is never exposed between the vein and the sharps container. That closed sequence makes the Prevent R a practical fit for OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard sharps-injury prevention programs and for facilities standardizing on engineered sharps injury protection devices. On the winged variant, the wings anchor the hub flat against the skin so tape or a securement device holds without torquing the catheter, which helps reduce accidental dislodgement and restarts. The blood control valve keeps the insertion site and the clinician's gloves clean during hub connection, which matters in home infusion and long-term care settings where a second set of hands is not always available. Sterile, single-use, and disposable, each unit is individually packed so shelf stock stays intact and dated inventory is easy to rotate — order the box of 50 for practices, clinics, and home caregivers, or the case of 200 for facility par levels and standing orders. Peripheral IV catheters and related infusion supplies are generally FSA and HSA eligible when used for a qualifying medical purpose; a Letter of Medical Necessity or prescription may be required, so confirm current eligibility rules with your plan administrator before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Product Types Box --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"enhdme-product-types\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eShop This Safety IV Catheter by Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eStraight Hub, Ridged Grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eWinged Hub for Taped Securement\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBox of 50 Catheters\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCase of 200 Catheters\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePush Button Retracting Safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBlood Control Check Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e22 Gauge \/ Blue ISO Color Code\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eFSA \/ HSA Eligible IV Catheters\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"McKesson","offers":[{"title":"Straight Hub \/ Bx\/50","offer_id":46455065313337,"sku":"200-IVRB221","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Straight Hub \/ CS\/200","offer_id":46455065346105,"sku":"200-IVRB221-CS","price":459.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Winged Hub \/ Bx\/50","offer_id":46455065378873,"sku":"200-IVRWB221","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Winged Hub \/ CS\/200","offer_id":46455065411641,"sku":"200-IVRWB221-CS","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/7823\/0841\/files\/1242607_right.avif?v=1788729794","url":"https:\/\/enhdme-pro.com\/products\/peripheral-iv-catheter-mckesson-prevent%c2%ae-r-22-gauge-1-inch-polyurethane-blood-control-push-button-safety","provider":"EnhDme-Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
