IV cannula 18G 20G 22G at a glance
It comes in three sizes, 18G, 20G and 22G, each with its own colour so the right one is easy to spot. The flexible wings are for secure vein access. The built in port is for giving more medication through the same cannula.
The needle is sharp, bevelled and triple faceted. The cannula itself is kink resistant FEP/PTFE with a transparent flashback chamber. Every piece is sterile, single use and packed on its own.

Which IV cannula size do I need, 18G, 20G or 22G?
That is a clinical decision for the health worker placing it. The gauge number runs the opposite way to the size: 18G is the widest of the three at 1.30 mm, 20G is 1.00 mm and 22G is 0.85 mm.
Most wards stock all three. Many buyers order the IV cannula 18G 20G 22G range together and add 16G and 24G for high flow and paediatric use.
What do the cannula colours mean?
The colour code is universal, so a nurse anywhere in Kenya recognises it. 18G is green, 20G is pink and 22G is blue.
The colour is on the cap and the wings, which saves time when a tray is being set up in a hurry. Every IV cannula 18G 20G 22G pack we sell follows that code.

How the cannula is used
Only trained health workers should place an IV cannula. The gauge for each patient is a clinical decision. Follow your facility protocol for insertion, care and removal.
The clear flashback chamber shows blood return and the port is there for additional medication. Use each cannula once, then dispose of it the way your facility requires. The World Health Organization infection prevention and control pages set out why single use matters.
