Integrated closed Safety IV System now indicated for subcutaneous infusion therapy.

The use of products which exhibit these features is recommended by leading consultants.

• 24G short peripheral intravenous catheter
• Comfortable wings for support and stabilization
• Integrated short extension set to aid smooth insertion and reduce catheter movement during use
• Integrated safety mechanism to ensure health care worker safety during and after placement of device

The use of intravenous catheter systems for subcutaneous infusion therapy is predominant. Compared to winged steel needle sets, peripheral IV catheters will:

Advanced shielding design A telescoping needle shield passively covers the needle, helping protect clinicians from needlestick injuries.	Closed system Preattached extension tubing offers a closed system to minimize blood exposure during catheter insertion.
Removable adapter A removable PRN adapter allows the use of an ISO-compliant needleless connector.	D Vialon biomaterial The system is constructed with BD Vialon biomaterial, a proprietary catheter material that softens in the vein.

Subcutaneous Infusion Therapy

Subcutaneous infusion, also known as "Hypodermoclysis", is increasingly and widely used for the following therapies:

• Rehydration
• Palliative care
• Pediatric care
• Pain management

With an aging population and global economic burdens, hypodermoclysis can offer a cost-efficient, effective alternative to intravenous therapy. When IV access is not required, possible or practical, hypodermoclysis is an effective alternative. Early intervention in cases of dehydration can prevent serious complications.

Appropriate sites for subcutaneous infusion include:
