SubscribeNeedle tip safety catheters with tips that become blunt after use, reducing the danger of HIV transmission
- Significantly reduces the risk of needle stick injury
- Combines needle stick protection with ease of use
- Catheter insertion requires minimal change in technique
- Unique safety mechanism extends the blunt beyond the needle tip
Needle sticks still pose the greatest occupational risk for transmitting HIV and other blood borne pathogens. The Medex® PROTECTIV® ACUVANCE® 2 I.V. catheter range is designed to reduce percutaneous injuries. The optimally engineered needle is closely tailored to the precision beveled polyurethane catheter which uses a thin wall technology.
