BD push-button needle shielding technology is demonstrated to reduce needlestick injuries by 95%.1*
BD Instaflash™ needle technology on 20-24 G products may improve first-stick success and reduce painful hit-and-miss insertions.
Reduced complications
BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein, enabling longer dwell times2† and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.2†
Insertion success in sight
BD Instaflash™ needle technology incorporates a notched needle, which clinically demonstrated improved first-attempt insertion success, reducing painful hit-and-miss insertions.3
Reduces the risk of phlebitis
Proprietary BD Vialon™ biomaterial softens up to 70% in the vein2†, enabling longer dwell times and reducing the chance of mechanical phlebitis by up to 50%.2†
Variety of configurations to meet your preference.
The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ catheters come with or without wings depending on your preference.
Helps control during insertion
Provides safe handling of a withdrawn needle without reducing its ease of insertion.4
