Intravenous Indwelling Cannulas: Clinical Application, Global Popularization & Automatic Assembly Equipment
Intravenous indwelling cannula (commonly called IV Cannula or IV catheter) is the most widely used vascular access disposable medical device in modern healthcare.
Since its clinical launch in the 1960s, it has gradually replaced traditional steel scalpels and become the standard tool for infusion, blood transfusion, chemotherapy, and emergency rescue worldwide.
Behind the massive global demand lies fully automatic intelligent assembly equipment, which guarantees mass production consistency, product safety and compliance with international medical standards. This article elaborates on the clinical value of indwelling cannulas, their worldwide penetration, and the core advantages of professional automatic assembly lines.


Mass popularization of indwelling cannulas relies entirely on intelligent automatic assembly lines, which replace low-efficiency manual assembly to achieve high precision, zero pollution and stable yield.
Automatic feeding of catheter, steel needle, hub and wing parts;
Catheter tip forming & dimension inspection;
Needle assembly, servo UV glue dispensing & UV curing;
CCD visual inspection for burr, needle deflection and dimensional deviation;
Silicone lubrication, sleeve assembly and finished product blanking;

Production capacity: Up to 2,000–4,000 pieces per hour depending on model;
Qualified rate: ≥98%, equipment operation rate ≥95%;
Labor input: Only 1 inspector for one complete line;
Compatibility: Supports full gauge range (18G–24G), both wing-type and pen-type IV cannulas;
Control system: PLC + touch screen, imported CCD visual detection system for real-time defect screening;
Compliance: Meets medical clean workshop standards, compatible with MDR, CE and ISO 13485 production requirements.
Guarantee medical product safety: Closed automatic production avoids human contamination, satisfying sterile disposable medical device standards;
Cut comprehensive manufacturing cost: Sharply reduce labor expense and production cycle for manufacturers;
Stable product consistency: Precise servo control eliminates manual assembly errors, reducing clinical adverse events caused by defective cannulas;
Flexible customized production: Quick switching between different specifications to satisfy multi-scenario market orders.
