Features and Benefits

Enhanced safety

The use of safety engineered devices and proper education can lead up to a 9.2% reduction in sharps injuries. The Insyte  Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheter is designed to provide safety activation with a push of a button and is completely encapsulated after activation to reduce the risk of needlestick injury.

First-stick success

Instaflash™ Needle Technology, available on 20, 22 and 24 gauge sizes, incorporates a notched needle, which has clinically demonstrated improved first-attempt insertion success, reducing painful hit-and-miss insertions.^,1-2
^Compared to a non-notched needle

Minimized phlebitis

Proprietary BD Vialon™ Catheter Material softens, enabling longer dwell time and reducing the chance of phlebitis up to 69%.*,3-5
