Hi all, My unit is attempting to trial insuflon catheters for our pediatric cardiac patients requiring lovenox injections. The hold up we encountered is actually the needle/syinge used to draw up the med and inject into the infusion. Insuflon states the injection needle must be between 27-31 gauge. Our pharmacy requires that the needle have a safety device to prevent sticks, and will not allow the use of insulin syringes. Does anyone use the insuflon catheter and know what needle /needle syringe combo you use to inject? If so, I would love some suggestions that I can ask our pharmacy to consider so we can move forward with the trial. Thanks for the help!!
