Description

Passive Safety Technology is incorporated into the Vasofix® Safety IV Catheter via an integrated fully automatic Safety Shield which protects the needle tip to prevent needlestick injuries. A recent study confirmed that passive safety engineered devices create significantly better protection for healthcare workers than those that require the user to activate the safety feature. In fact, passive safety devices were associated with the lowest needlestick injury rate and are most effective for needlestick injury prevention.
