BD PosiFlush XS Pre-Filled Saline Syringe - 10ml x 30
BD PosiFlush XS (Externally Sterile) Pre-Filled Saline Syringe
BD PosiFlush XS Saline Syringes are designed for flushing vascular access devices within a sterile field, or where patients are particularly susceptible to infection.
All BD PosiFlush Syringes:
Are designed to comply with PICC manufacturer instructions, increasing overall patient safety.
Minimise blood reflux that can be associated with flushing when using a standard syringe.
Please Note: Plunger Reflux occurs during a flush procedure when the rubber plunger rod stopper meets the end of the syringe. Because it is rubber, it will compress then rebound, creating a vacuum that draws blood back into the catheter.
