BD Vialon™ biomaterial
Proprietary BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times 3† and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.3†
BD Instaflash™ needle technology
Provides quick blood visualization that may help improve insertion success and therefore reduce insertion attempts.
Built-in stabilisation platform‡
Reduces dislodgement by 84%2§ and complies with the guidelines for catheter stabilisation set by the Infusion Nurses Society (INS)4 and Centers for Desease Control (CDC).5
Pre-attached extension tubing
Pre-attached extension tubing offers a closed system to minimise blood exposure during catheter insertion*2 meeting the INS standards.4
Reduces complications
Integrated extension tubing and stabilisation platform‡ is designed to reduce manipulation and movement at the site and has been shown to reduce dislodgement2§ and phlebitis by up to 50%.1,2
Lessens blood exposure risks
98% reduced blood exposure during insertion due to the BD Nexiva IV catheter pre-assembled systems.2*
BD Nexiva IV catheter dwells longer
In a randomised study comparing the BD Nexiva IV catheter to an open catheter system, the median dwell time for BD Nexiva IV catheters was six days versus four days for the open system.1
BD Nexiva IV catheter preserves insertion sites
By preserving sites for longer, the BD Nexiva IV catheter helps patients get the medication they need as scheduled, potentially decreasing their length of stay.1,2
May help reduce cost and delays in treatment
In a 2014 clinical study, the longer dwell time (6 days)|| of the BD Nexiva™ IV catheter led to cost reductions of up to €786,257.05 per year per 1000 beds compared with an open system.1**

Increased Catheter Stabilisation
Catheter stabilisation is recognised as an intervention to decrease the risk for complications and may be advantageous in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).4,5
Integrated Configuration
The Infusion Nurses Society recommends limiting the use of add-on devices to reduce the potential for contamination, additional manipulation, and disconnection.4
