The angiocatheter is one of the most common and important tools in modern medicine. It is a versatile device used for repeated or prolonged intravenous injections of medications, blood, or other injectable solutions, either alone or in combination. The gray angiocatheter size belongs to the category of thick angiocatheters.
This type of angiocatheter has an outer diameter of 1.7 mm, an inner diameter of 1.3 mm, and a needle length of 50 mm. The 50 mm needle requires deep placement, similar to the orange angiocatheter, which may cause pain on the patient’s skin and vein. The size 16 of this gray angiocatheter indicates that it takes 16 minutes to pass 1000 milliliters of saline through it. Given the relatively large diameter of the gray angiocatheters, this type is also used for adults and is particularly useful for injecting large amounts of fluids or colloids.
