BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ BC Pro shielded IV catheter with blood control technology
Confidently keep blood away from you
Anytime you insert an IV catheter, you are at risk of a needlestick injury and blood exposure. When you have to apply digital pressure at needle removal, the risk of blood exposure increases. Your worries can be minimized with the BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Pro Shielded IV Catheter with Blood Control Technology.
In a healthy human study, 98% of clinicians indicated they felt not at risk of blood exposure during insertion when using BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ BC IV Catheters.‡1
