The well-established BD Insyte^™ Autoguard^™ shielded IV catheter incorporates advanced safety features including a push-button that instantly retracts the needle, helping reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. It also features notched needle technology that lets you easily visualize blood return along the catheter, which can potentially improve first stick success by providing clinicians with immediate vessel entry confirmation.
