BD Vialon™ catheter material
Proprietary BD Vialon™ Catheter Material softens, enabling longer dwell time and reducing the chance of phlebitis up to 69%.
BD Instaflash™ needle technology
Provides quick blood visualization that may help improve insertion success and therefore reduce insertion attempts.
Built-in stabilization platform‡
BD Nexiva* with an integrated extension tubing and stabilization platform is designed to reduce manipulation and movement at the site and has been shown to reduce dislodgement and phlebitis
Pre-attached extension set
Shown to significantly reduce blood exposure during insertion compared to an open system 2* and aligns with INS guidelines. 4
Reduces accidental dislodgement
The BD Nexiva* with the built-in stabilization platform reduces dislodgement by 84%1†
Lessens blood exposure
By choosing the BD Nexiva {*}, you can reduce the risk of complications and blood exposure as well as preserve sites*
*Compared to an open system with a PTFE catheter
Lowers chance of mechanical phlebitis
The BD Nexiva {*} demonstrated a 29% reduction in phlebitis rates when compared to an open system*
*with a PTFE catheter
Dwells longer
In a randomized study comparing the BD Nexiva {*} to an open catheter system*, among peripheral IV catheters in place for over 24 hours, the median dwell time for BD Nexiva™ {*} was up to 144 hours versus 96 hours for the open system
Preserves sites
BD Nexiva {*} is an all-in-one PIVC shown to preserve sites for longer
May help reduce cost and delays in treatment
BD Nexiva {*} has been shown to reduce costs and reduce treatment delays in clinical studies.
BD Nexiva™: Traditional vs closed IV catheter insertion
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Catheter stabilization is recognized as an intervention to decrease the risk for phlebitis, catheter migration and dislodgement and may be advantageous in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).3
Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice
Recommend limiting the use of add-on devices to reduce the potential for contamination, additional manipulation, and disconnection.5
Increased clinician safety
98% reduced blood exposure during insertion due to the BD Nexiva IV catheter preassembled system.2*
Increased catheter stabilization
Clinically demonstrated to reduce accidental dislodgement,2‡ meeting Infusion Nursing Society standards4 and CDC guidelines5 for catheter stabilization.
Reduced rate of complications
In a clinical study, results demonstrated a significant reduction in the rate of phlebitis (grade 2 or higher), PIVC-related complications, and infiltration in the closed system versus the open system group.1
