The injection port valve is there for additional medication. Each one is sterile, single use and blister packed on its own.

When do nurses choose a 16G or a 24G cannula?
The gauge is a clinical decision. In general terms, the 16G at 1.70 mm is the large bore size used for high flow in adults. The 24G at 0.70 mm is the small size used for paediatric and geriatric patients.
Casualty units and theatres keep 16G on hand. Children’s wards and nursing homes keep 24G. Many buyers order the IV cannula 16G 24G pair together with 18G, 20G and 22G so every tray is covered.
What colour is a 16G and a 24G cannula?
16G is grey and 24G is yellow. The code is universal, so the colour on the cap tells any nurse the gauge without reading the label.
Keep the grey and yellow packs at opposite ends of the shelf and the wrong one rarely gets picked up. Both carry the colour on the cap and the wings, so the gauge is clear even from across the room.

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 flashback chamber shows blood return. The wings help stabilise the cannula and the port valve is there for additional medication. Use each cannula once and dispose of it safely, as the World Health Organization infection prevention and control pages describe.
