Proven to optimize patient outcomes Multiple clinical investigations conducted over ten years have proven that IV catheters made of BD Vialon biomaterial are easier to insert, while providing longer indwelling times with improved patient outcomes. ..catheters made of PEU-Vialon were substantially less phlebitogenic than were catheters made of FEP-Teflon. The reduction in risk was nearly 30% overall; in severe phlebitis, the reduction was nearly 50%.

Designed to increase first-stick success. A successful first-stick is important for both you and your patient, especially when accessing small and compromised veins. BD Instaflash needle technology is designed to reduce hit-and-miss insertion by immediately confirming vessel entry through a unique notch in the needle shaft. BD Medical provides the largest selection of notched needle devices and has incorporated its notched needle technology into our 20, 22, and 24-gauge BD Insyte Autoguard shielded IV catheters.
