BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ shielded IV catheter
Advanced safety at the push of a button
The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ shielded IV catheter incorporates advanced safety features including a push button that instantly retracts the needle, helping reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.
It also features notched needle technology that allows quick blood visualization at the point of insertion that may help improve first-stick success and therefore reduce insertion attempts.
Enhanced safety
BD push-button needle shielding technology is demonstrated to reduce needlestick injuries by 95%.1*
First-stick success
BD Instaflash™ needle technology on 20-24 G products may improve first-stick success and reduce painful hit-and-miss insertions.
Reduced complications
BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times2† and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.2†
