IV catheter placement is the most common invasive hospital procedure worldwide.1,2 Up to 90% of hospitalized patients require IV therapy, over 95% of these devices are peripheral IV catheters (PIVC).2 With every PIVC insertion attempt, healthcare workers (HCWs) risk exposure to patient blood.3-5 Needlestick injuries (NSIs) and blood leakage may expose HCWs to more than 30 dangerous pathogens that can be present in human blood, including hepatitis B, C and HIV.6 The BD Insyte Autoguard™ BC Shielded IV Catheter with blood control technology is designed to provide HCWs protection from needlestick injuries and blood exposure.
