Abbocath-T intravenous catheters feature a waterproof air-vent filter for air escape, a transparent chamber for immediate observation of blood return, and a double-tapered tip for painless and distortion-free insertion. Hospira's Abbocath-T catheter maintains its elasticity and shape without kinking during insertion, while the guide has three levels of bevel and the needle tip tapers smoothly, making placement easy and without discomfort to the patient. Abbocath-T catheters are available in sterile single-piece packaging.
