BD MEDICAL has launched its latest BD Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System designed to reduce healthcare workers’ risk of needlestick injuries and minimise exposure to blood.
The system includes the BD Q-Syte Luer Access Split Septum to help reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections. The new version introduces key developments, including: • New non-removable pinch clamp for easy, one-handed activation. • Soft stabilisation platform designed to decrease catheter movement and associated complications, while providing greater patient comfort. • New catheter grip design which accommodates the various insertion techniques employed by clinicians. • Larger bore extension tubing on 18G and 20G cannulas for improved flow rates.
