Why choose a 20G IV catheter?
A 20G catheter offers a larger internal diameter than 22G and 24G IV catheters, helping support a higher gravity flow rate. It is commonly selected when the clinical situation calls for a standard 1-inch catheter and increased flow capacity, subject to the clinician’s assessment, facility protocol, and the patient’s vascular condition.
For a smaller-diameter option, shop the BD 382523 22G x 1-inch IV catheter. For more delicate-access needs, shop the BD 382512 24G x 0.75-inch IV catheter.
