Needlestick Prevention

Although the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act was signed into legislation in the United States in 2000, there still remains much to be done to protect health care workers against sharps injuries that potentially expose them to deadly blood borne pathogens. According to recent research, (2011 Healthcare Worker Risks from Short Peripheral Catheter Insertion), percutaneous injuries to healthcare workers from a sharps device are four times more likely to occur than mucocutaneous exposure and pose a greater threat to disease transmission. Also, according to the 2008 Study of Nurses Views on Workplace Safety and Needlestick Injuries, nearly two-thirds of US nurses say needlestick injuries and blood borne infections remain major concerns. B. Braun Medical is committed to addressing these issues by providing the most effective safety- engineered IV therapy devices for optimum safety in the workplace.

IV Safety Catheters

The Introcan Safety® IV Catheter is designed with innovative passive-safety features to help eliminate accidental needlestick injury - effortlessly. Although safety devices were introduced over a decade ago, preventing needlestick injuries continues to be a major concern. From insertion to catheter deployment to needle removal, clinicians are protected by a truly passive safety device that is activated automatically - no extra steps - and cannot be bypassed.
