Pediatric and neonatal cannulas require thermosensitive polyurethane (FEP / PUR) catheter tubing with lubricated, micro-tapered tips that slip over delicate vein walls with minimal resistance. Catheters must feature high-clarity optical flashback chambers that reveal blood return instantly upon vessel entry, preventing clinicians from over-advancing the needle and puncturing the back wall of fine infant veins.
| Specification Parameter | 24 Gauge Peripheral IV Cannula | 26 Gauge Neonatal Micro-Cannula |
|---|---|---|
| Color Code (ISO 10555-5) | Yellow | Purple / Violet |
| Catheter Outside Diameter | 0.70 mm | 0.60 mm |
| Catheter Usable Length | 19 mm (3/4 inch) | 15 mm |
| Gravity Flow Rate (Saline) | ~20 – 23 ml/min | ~10 – 12 ml/min |
| Flashback Detection | Rapid capillary flashback chamber | Micro-volume magnifying optical chamber |
| Wing Design | Flexible contoured wings for pediatric limb splinting | Low-profile wings with soft foam backing option |
| Primary Clinical Setting | Pediatric medical wards, emergency hydration | Neonatal ICU, premature infant drug infusion |
In adult venipuncture, a delay of one or two seconds before blood appears in the flash chamber is manageable because large veins provide a margin of error. In a 1.5 kg neonate, a two-second delay causes the nurse to advance the needle too far, puncturing through the opposite vessel wall and creating a painful hematoma.
Manshav Impex pediatric cannulas feature: 1. Notched Needle Geometry: A microscopic side notch located within millimeters of the needle tip allows blood to flow into the transparent catheter tubing the instant the vein is entered, well before blood reaches the rear hub. 2. High-Clarity Polycarbonate Chamber: Optical magnification surfaces highlight the first drop of blood without distortion. 3. Hydrophobic Porous Filter Vent: Allows air to escape freely to promote capillary draw, while forming an immediate liquid barrier that prevents blood leaks onto clinician gloves.
Supplying the UAE public healthcare sector (Emirates Health Services - EHS) and private hospital networks requires formal approval from the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP).
Under UAE federal health guidelines, peripheral IV cannulas are classified as Class IIa sterile medical devices. Registration dossiers must include: - Medical Device Registration Certificate: Issued via the MOHAP online service portal. - Factory Quality Audits: Valid ISO 13485:2016 certification and European CE Declaration of Conformity. - Biocompatibility Dossier (ISO 10993): Documented cytotoxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, and hemocompatibility testing. - Catheter Integrity Verification (ISO 10555-5): Pull-strength data between catheter and hub, flow rate validation, and needle-point sharpness curves. - Bilingual Artwork: Arabic and English packaging displaying batch numbers, sterilization dates, and single-use warnings.
For pediatric and neonatal units, specify cannulas without an injection port on top. Injection ports add bulk and increase catheter weight on tiny infant limbs, making them prone to dislodging when the infant moves. Flat, portless designs with low-profile wings are easier to secure against a pediatric arm board.
Manshav Impex supplies medical distributors and hospital networks in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman with pediatric and adult IV cannulas, infusion sets, and vascular lines supported by complete MOHAP technical dossiers.

"In neonatal care, successful vascular access relies on high-magnification flashback: seeing that first drop of blood before the needle advances even a millimeter too far."

FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is firm at room temperature, making it easy to advance through tough infant skin. PUR (Polyurethane) is more flexible and softens further at body temperature, conforming gently to vessel contours and reducing thrombophlebitis risks during multi-day infusions.
Under ISO 10555-5 international color-coding standards, gauge sizes follow uniform colors. Yellow indicates 24G (0.7mm), while Purple/Violet indicates 26G (0.6mm), allowing clinical staff to identify needle sizes instantly in emergency resuscitation settings.
Direct container vessels from Port Mundra (INMUN1) or Nhava Sheva (INNSA1) reach **Port Jebel Ali in Dubai (AEJEA)** in just **3 to 5 days**, making the UAE one of the fastest international export routes from India.
Yes. Manshav Impex manufactures passive and active needle-shielding mechanisms that automatically encase the needle tip upon withdrawal, preventing accidental needle-stick injuries during pediatric emergency procedures.
Cannulas are sealed in individual medical paper-film blister pouches packed 50 units per dispenser box and 1,000 units per master shipping carton, lined with moisture barrier film to withstand Gulf ambient humidity. ---
