The Introcan Safety ® family of IV catheters is the only brand to feature truly automatic, passive needlestick protection and an option for automatic, multi-access blood control. Passive safety follows the recommendation of the INS Standards of Practice 1 and is proven to be two times better than a semi- automatic 'push-button' safety shield and three times better than a manually sliding shield.² With Introcan Safety, you can get the best of both worlds—fully automatic, passive needlestick and blood exposure protection.
