The well-established BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ shielded IV catheter incorporates advanced safety features including a push button that instantly retracts the needle, helping reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. It also features notched needle technology that lets you easily visualize blood return along the catheter shaft, which can enhance care for fragile vessels or vessels without venous tone.

Enhanced Safety
BD push-button needle shielding technology is demonstrated to reduce needlestick injuries by 95%.1*
First-Stick Success
BD Instaflash™ needle technology on 20-G, 22-G and 24-G products incorporate a notched needle, which may improve first-stick success and reduce painful hit-and-miss insertions.
Minimized Phlebitis
BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times2† and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.2†
