Help patients by removing the needle from
blood draws
Fear of needles is common, but you have the power to help improve patient comfort.8
Almost every hospital patient experiences IV access and blood draws, and these procedures may be associated with a high degree of complications.9,10 This may be stressful for the 24% of adults and 63% of children who say they have needle phobia.11
An improved blood draw technique
See how BD is making needle-free blood collection possible.
The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device is designed to overcome traditional barriers, delivering a high-quality, reliable blood sample.7,12 By extending beyond the suboptimal draw conditions around the IV, the blood collection device can reach vessel locations where blood flow is optimal for aspiration.

draws easy6,14
Overcome traditional peripheral IV line draw challenges
During the BD Needle-free Blood Draw Procedure with the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device, a flexible internal flow tube advances through the PIVC and into the vessel to go beyond suboptimal draw conditions to collect a high-quality, reliable blood sample.

Trust in the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device and the ExT™ Stabilized Extension Set with NearPort™ IV Access to elevate the standard of care while instilling confidence and enhancing experience for both patients and clinicians.6
Help alleviate anxiety associated with repetitive needlesticks.15
Create lasting value for your hospital.
The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution reduces needlesticks and enhances care experience1**
Reduce vascular access complications
Reducing needlesticks helps create a safer clinical environment and preserves vessel health for future access for blood sampling and treatment.5 Reliable peripheral line draws may also reduce the reliance and associated risk of central line draws.16 The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution and BD portfolio of vascular access products are designed to help improve peripheral vascular health7 and advance the standard of care.
Improve patient experience
Ease the fear and anxiety many patients associate with repetitive needlesticks. Patients who received daily blood draws with the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device rated their preference 9.1 out of 10 when compared to venipuncture.15 With innovation designed to remove the needle from blood draws, provide high-quality reliable samples13,14 and lower IV replacement rates7 you may realize clinical efficiency while also improving the patient experience.
Maximize economic benefits
Redrawing blood samples is costly and may result in treatment delays, elevating hospital costs.5 The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device helps deliver high-quality samples, while reducing the possibility of preanalytical lab errors and sample recollects, helping patients receive the right treatment at the right time.7,14 Its needle-free design helps to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries for clinicians.17
Boost hospital reputation
A safe, comfortable and efficient hospital stay lets patients know they are your top priority. The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device helps you reduce needlesticks7, enhancing patient experience and instilling confidence.6 Satisfied, comfortable patients that experience safe, efficient procedures improve both the public perception of your hospital, and its bottom line.8,18,19

See how the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device is advancing practice for hospitals
The PIVO™ Needle-free Blood Collection Device and the ExT™ Stabilized Extension Set with NearPort™ IV Access provides high-quality blood samples with a flexible internal flow tube that advances through the PIVC, beyond the catheter tip for more favorable draw conditions.14
The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device has been shown in clinical and healthy human studies to provide reliable, high-quality blood draws from peripheral IV catheter lines.7 In addition to providing high-quality blood draws with low rates of hemolysis, the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device may have a positive impact on patient experience by reducing repetitive needlesticks.6
The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution is fully compatible with the BD portfolio of blood collection products, including BD Vacutainer® Luer-Lok™ Access Device and BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Tubes, as well as the BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Safety IV Catheter and BD Cathena™ Safety IV Catheter portfolio of products.
Up to 90% of hospitalized patients will require IV therapy.9
The PIVO™ Blood Collection Device can have a positive impact on the patient experience by reducing the pain and discomfort from multiple needlesticks, while saving clinician time by reducing the risk of preanalytical lab errors and sample re-collects which leads to improved economic outcomes.7
The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution helps alleviate pain associated with repetitive needlesticks encountered over a hospital stay by removing the needle from the blood draw procedure and by accessing optimal draw conditions through an existing PIVC while minimizing disruption to patient's sleep and healing process.6,21
Compared with venipuncture, patients who received daily phlebotomy collections rated their overall experience a 9.1 out of 10 using the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device.1,15
The BD Peripheral Line Draw solution includes the PIVO™ Blood Collection Device and the Ext™ Stabilized Extension Set. Together these products help to reduce the number of sticks associated with venipuncture and IV replacement7 helping to preserve vessel health for future access.5 Reliable peripheral line draws may also provide an alternative to the reliance and associated risks of central line draws.16
The BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution enables a streamlined clinical efficiency with an innovative and easy to use PIVC line draw solution, helping clinicians access a high-quality and reliable venous blood draw.6,14
Performing a needle-free blood draw reduces the risk of an accidental needlestick injury.
Needle phobia terminology differs throughout literature and includes terms that are often used interchangeably: scared of needles, fear of needles, needle fear, Blood-Injection Injury (BII) phobia, fear of injections, and needle anxiety.
If your patients have needle phobia, it could lead to avoidance behavior. This includes exacerbated avoidance of treatment, blood donations, and vaccinations -- all which can negatively impact patient care.22,23
The most common device-related approach for addressing needle phobia is utilizing innovations that include smaller/thinner needles, followed by needle-free options.24,25
Yes, the addition of Velano Vascular and its innovative PIVO™ Blood Collection Device allows BD to help health care providers move closer to the aspirational vision of the “One-Stick Hospital Stay,” by utilizing a PIVC that lasts the length of a patient's hospital stay.
