ICU Medical 3060 ProtectIV™ Plus Safety IV Catheter 22G x 1"

The ICU Medical 3060 ProtectIV™ Plus Safety IV Catheter is a 22 gauge x 1-inch peripheral IV catheter designed for reliable short-term vascular access. Its blue, color-coded straight hub supports fast gauge identification, while the radiopaque polyurethane catheter helps provide visibility under X-ray when clinically needed.

The ProtectIV Plus design uses a manually activated, retracting safety needle to help reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries after placement. This 22G x 1-inch configuration offers a 38 mL/min flow rate and is a practical choice for routine infusions, medication administration, and other appropriate peripheral IV therapies.

Why choose a 22G x 1" IV catheter?

A 22G x 1-inch IV catheter offers a balance of flow capacity and a smaller catheter diameter for routine peripheral IV therapy. The ICU Medical 3060 provides a 38 mL/min gravity flow rate and is commonly selected when a clinician needs a standard-length IV catheter with more moderate flow than a 20G option.

For a smaller-gauge, shorter option, consider the ICU Medical 3063 ProtectIV™ Plus 24G x 3/4" IV catheter. When greater flow capacity is clinically appropriate, consider the ICU Medical 3067 ProtectIV™ Plus 20G x 1" IV catheter.

Catheter selection should always follow the clinician’s assessment, facility protocol, prescribed therapy, and the patient’s vascular condition.
