Description
IV catheter placement is the most common invasive hospital procedure worldwide. Up to 90% of hospitalized patients require IV therapy, over 95% of these devices are peripheral IV catheters (PIVC). With every PIVC insertion attempt, healthcare workers (HCWs) risk exposure to patient blood. Needlestick injuries (NSIs) and blood leakage may expose HCWs to more than 30 dangerous pathogens that can be present in human blood, including hepatitis B, C and HIV. The BD Insyte Autoguard™ BC Shielded IV Catheter with blood control technology is designed to provide HCWs protection from needlestick injuries and blood exposure.
