CANULAR PINK

The IV cannula is used to administer intravenous fluids, blood and blood products, medications, IV nutritional support, and for repeated blood sampling.

Cannulas are important in clinical settings. An IV cannula is a small plastic tube that can be inserted into the vein to supply fluids, medication, directly to the bloodstream. Intravenous (IV) cannulation is the technique used for the insertion of a cannula inside a vein to provide venous access. The venous access could be used to administer medication, parenteral nutrition, fluids, blood therapy, chemotherapy, and also for sampling of blood.
