Braunula
flexible plastic cannula
giving days longer
intravenous intrusion
without irritation
This unique method of intravenous intrusion is quickcr and
safer than any previous method.
The revolutionary deslgn of Braunula, which is a thin metal cutting
needle sheathed with a close fitting plastic capillary, enables the
puncture and intrusion to be carried out in one smooth action. A
gentle twist-pull and the metal needle is withdrawn leaving the
capillary in the vein ready for connection to the drip tubing. The
capillary cannot accidentally slip into the vein, and, as it fits the
puncture exactly there is no danger of blood seepage. Being
flexible, the capillary lies along the vessel, allowing more movemcnt
and preventing irritation.
The Braunula can be left in position several days and is uniquely
designed to allow injections to be made through the sterile plastic
stopper.
Braunula is much more than a new product... it is a revolu-
tion in cannula method.
