Passive safety technology is incorporated into the Introcan Safety® IV catheter via an integrated fully automatic safety shield which protects the needle tip to prevent needlestick injuries.

• Easy puncture at a wide range of angles
• Minimum effort of catheter insertion
• Simplicity - looks and feels like a standard cannula
• Self-activating safety shield - covers needle tip automatically after use

It was confirmed that passive safety engineered devices create significantly better protection for healthcare workers than those that require the user to activate the safety feature.

Passive safety devices were associated with the lowest needlestick injury rate and are most effective for needlestick injury prevention.
