Overview

IV cannula - for veterinary usage only

The Veterinary IV Catheter, also known as an animal IV cannula or veterinary indwelling catheter, is a sterile single-use device used to establish short-term intravenous access in animals. It allows veterinarians to deliver fluids, medications, anesthetic agents, and supportive therapy through a secure peripheral vein.

Compared with repeated needle puncture, an indwelling IV catheter helps reduce repeated venous access attempts and supports more efficient clinical workflow. It is commonly used in small animal clinics, veterinary hospitals, surgical centers, emergency departments, and animal care institutions.

The catheter is designed with a sharp stainless-steel introducer needle and a smooth catheter tube to support easy insertion and stable placement. The transparent flashback chamber allows quick confirmation of venous entry, while the color-coded hub helps veterinarians identify sizes efficiently during clinical procedures.

Our veterinary IV catheters are specially designed for the animals from the very begining, improvements and reinforcements had been made comparing to that for humanbeings. All these products manufactured under strict quality control procedures to ensure consistent performance, safe packaging, and reliable supply for international veterinary product distributors.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is a Veterinary IV Catheter used for?
    A Veterinary IV Catheter is used to establish peripheral venous access in animals for fluid therapy, medication administration, anesthesia, surgery, emergency care, and routine veterinary treatment. It allows veterinarians to deliver fluids or drugs through a secure intravenous pathway.
    Is a Veterinary IV Catheter the same as an animal indwelling needle?
    Yes. A Veterinary IV Catheter is also commonly called an animal indwelling catheter, animal IV catheter, or veterinary IV cannula. In international markets, “Veterinary IV Catheter” and “Animal IV Cannula” are more commonly used product names.
    What animals can this IV catheter be used for?
    Veterinary IV catheters are commonly used for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small or medium-sized animals. The appropriate catheter size should be selected by veterinary professionals according to the animal’s species, body weight, vein condition, and treatment purpose.
    What is the difference between a veterinary IV catheter and a regular injection needle?
