The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV catheter incorporates advanced safety features, including a push-button that instantly retracts the needle, helping reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.

• BD push-button needle shielding technology is demonstrated to reduce needlestick injuries by 95%
• BD Instaflash™ needle technology on 20 - 24 G products may improve first-stick success and reduce painful hit-and-miss insertions
• BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%
• Provides safe handling of a withdrawn needle without reducing its ease of insertion
• Autoguard™ IV catheters are power injectable, and offer a maximum pressure limit of 300 psi

The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV catheter also features notched needle technology that allows quick blood visualisation at the point of insertion to help improve first-stick success, and therefore reduce insertion attempts.
