Peripheral intravenous cannula

Peripheral intravenous cannulas are sterile devices that provide short-term access to the peripheral venous system for administration of fluids and medications and sampling of blood, with placement not exceeding the axillary line. These devices are inserted into the peripheral vascular system for short-term use across any patient population, with consideration given to vascular anatomy, the procedure being performed, fluids being infused, and duration of therapy.
