The first step to a safe and efficient infusion therapy

Peripheral IV catheters are the most common invasive procedure performed in hospitals.¹ Although a routine hospital procedure, the placement of PIVCs remains a complex task that is associated with complications and risks for both patients and medical staff, such as: 

• Blood spillage and exposure impact
• Catheter-related complications such as dislodgement, infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis and infection²
• Needlestick injuries and related infections

Because patient access is so common, PIVCs play a key role in improving the quality of infusion therapy. B. Braun peripheral IV catheters can help preventing many of these risks and consequential costs.
