The advantages of Polyurethane (PUR):

• Highly compatible with medicines.
• Highly biocompatible for staying in the vein a long time.
• Highly flexible for easily adapting the catheter to the vein.
• Elastic for the catheter to return to its original shape quiclky, consequently restoring normal flow in case of involuntary movements by the patient causing it to bend.
• Smooth and sof surface to decrease the risks of thrombosis and phlebitis.

• Smooth and easy insertion.
• Best matches to veins anatomy.
• Reduces risks for phlebitis.
• No kinking.
• Becomes even softer at body temperature.

The advantages of FEP:

• Highly compatible with medicines.
• Easy to insert into the vein, especially in an emergency.
• Great manual skill also in case of hard skin.
