Objective: to validate an instrument for the assessment of the peripheral venipuncture technique with over-the-needlecatheter. Methods: methodological, transversal study developed with 24 judge nurses, professors of the subject semiologyand/or physical examination techniques, with at least 1 year of experience in those disciplines in three stages: preparationof checklist; submission to the judges for evaluation; and content validation through the application of the Kappa index.Results: out of the 26 items of the instrument, only 2 did not have Kappa index and content validity index within theestablished parameters. Out of these 24 items, 7 showed perfect concordance index, 10 great and 7 good. Conclusion: theinstrument had representation and extension about the area of interest.
