Intraveneous Therapy

Vasofix® Safety is a peripheral IV catheter with an injection port and a passive fully automatic needlestick protection. The single-use device is intended to generate intravascular access to sample blood, administer fluids/medication and blood/blood products intravenously.

The device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. No gender or age related limitations. Vasofix® Safety can be used for adults, pediatrics and neonates.

• Passive Safety Shield – A passive fully automatic protection helps eliminating needlestick injuries and related infections. It deploys automatically, cannot be bypassed and requires no user activation 1,2

• Double Flashback Technology - Confirms that both needle and catheter capillary are inside the vessel. First needle flash confirms needle is in vein, second catheter flash confirms catheter is in vein

• Universal Back Cut Bevel – Allows for a wide choice of insertion angles and is designed for minimal puncture trauma 3

• Radiopaque Stripes - For a good visibility of the catheter capillary under X-Ray.

• IV catheter material available in PUR and FEP – PUR for a softer and more comfortable indwelling performance, FEP as alternative firmer material4

• Fixation Wings – Stabilization helps to reduce catheter movement and related complications 5,6

• Injection Port – Allows for quick injection without interruption of infusion

• Not made with DEHP, Latex/Natural Rubber, PVC

Universal IV administration sets with air vent for gravity infusions and pressure infusions with non-dedicated infusion pumps (pressure resistant up to 2 bar)
