Our Emergency Room Docs are looking for longer periph I.V. caths. The longest I have found are 1.77 inches. Anyone know of a company that makes a longer one?
We use a 1.88 inch BD insyte catheter. Not much longer. I can typically get peripheral IVs in 350lbs+ pts c ultrasound using these catheters. Hope this helps.
