We’ve reinvented short peripheral venous access with a simple, but profound idea: Use a
smaller diameter and shorter introducer needle tip to help reduce vein damage.*
Traditional catheter outer layer
“Smaller” diameter needle and
bevel tip inner layer
Passively activated safety
shield / dilator middle layer
The benefits can be less vein wall damage than from traditional size needle tips, fewer “blown” veins or vein wall irritations such as phlebitis, and reduced leakage at the needle incision site to help reduce infiltrations.

READY FOR USE
Needle tip retracted:
SAFE MODE
Shorter needle tip to reduce vein wall damage*
Passively activated needlestick safety shield
Tighter catheter wall to vein incision ratio for better Venous Seal
