At B. Braun, developed Introcan Safety 2 with the guiding principle of making the job of IV access safe for the clinician. IV access is an indispensable element of today’s infusion therapy. However, this invasive procedure continues to be associated with potential risks.
Features
- Universal Bevel.
- Passive Safety Needle Shield slides into place as needle is pulled out of catheter: Aids in prevention of needlestick injuries.
- Designed to provide a quick visual confirmation of vein puncture with separate needle/flashback chamber and catheter flashback.
Making Access Safe for Clinicians
Needlestick injuries continue to be one of the highest risks clinicians will face during their daily routine. Studies show that passive, fully automatic safety devices reduce needlestick injury prevention by up to 48%.
With B. Braun’s Introcan Safety 2, you are protected by a truly automatic passive safety device.
Safety for Clinicians
- Deploys automatically
- Cannot be bypassed after needle is removed
- Prevents needle reinsertions when activated
Making Access Efficient
Multiple attempts to establish IV access can lead to a delay in treatment plus an increase in material cost and time.
The Double Flashback Technology of Introcan Safety 2 supports first stick success through quick visual confirmation that both needle and catheter are successfully in the vein.
Making Access Convenient
The One-time Blood Control Septum is designed to restrict the flow of blood from the catheter hub after needle removal until first connection of a luer access device.
