Think veterinary industry should be moving towards safety cannula to prevent the risk of needle stick injuries are well as preventing reinsertion of stylets, which I've seen in the past

I also recommend Abbott ones. I personally don't like winged ones, I find them really awkward.

I agree that the abbott catheters are lovely (the veterinary specific ones though not the abbocath ones which are the human catheters). Although they are not winged, they go through the skin much more smoothly than any others I have used. I love them and if you can get used to using non-winged catheters would definitely recommend giving them a go!

We use optiva winged catheters, these go through the skin really easily.

We use these at work. http://www.bbraun.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/cw-bbraun-en-gb/hs.xsl/products.html?id=00020742150000000578&prid=PRID00000988 With the added bonus of being safety cannulas to prevent the operator from stabbing themselves

We use introcan, which seem to go nice and soft when warmed (ie inside an animal :) )

I don't often place one nowadays though so can't really comment on how they are...?
