Explain why stab incisions are used frequently during placement of a bovine intravenous
catheter.
Cow dermis is very thick, and it is difficult to advance a stylet through the skin without
damaging the catheter tip. A small stab incision made with a No. 15 blade, or a 14g needle
facilitates passage through the skin.
