Enhanced safety
The use of safety engineered devices and proper education can lead up to a 9.2% reduction in sharps injuries. The Insyte Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheter is designed to provide safety activation with a push of a button and is completely encapsulated after activation to reduce the risk of needlestick injury.
First-stick success
Instaflash™ Needle Technology, available on 20, 22 and 24 gauge sizes, incorporates a notched needle, which has clinically demonstrated improved first-attempt insertion success, reducing painful hit-and-miss insertions.^,1-2
