Veenikanüüligas

Veenikanüüligas refers to a type of medical device. It is a hollow, flexible tube inserted into a vein, most commonly in the arm or hand. The primary purpose of a Veenikanüüligas is to provide access to the bloodstream for various medical procedures and treatments. This access can be used for administering medications, intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, and for drawing blood samples. The device typically consists of a needle, which is used for initial insertion through the skin and vein wall, and a catheter, which is the flexible tube that remains in place. Once the catheter is in position, the needle is withdrawn. A securement device is then used to keep the catheter in place. Veenikanüüligas are often used for short-term medical interventions, though certain types can be left in place for longer periods under sterile conditions. Their use requires trained medical professionals to ensure proper insertion, maintenance, and removal to prevent complications such as infection, phlebitis, or bleeding. The specific design and size of the Veenikanüüligas vary depending on the intended application and the patient's needs.
