Advancing IV Safety, Efficiency, and Infection Control in Clinics

In today’s fast-paced clinical environment, intravenous access must be safe, reliable, and efficient—not just for patients, but also for healthcare professionals. The Braun Introcan Safety 3 Closed IV Catheter Winged is designed precisely for this purpose, combining advanced needlestick protection, a closed IV system, and ergonomic handling to meet the evolving demands of modern clinics.

This device is an ideal choice for clinics looking to improve staff safety, infection control, and workflow efficiency without compromising on patient comfort.

Why IV Safety Matters More Than Ever in Clinics

Clinics perform a high volume of IV procedures daily—medication administration, fluid therapy, diagnostics, and short-term infusions. With limited staffing and time-sensitive workflows, the risks of:

• Accidental needlestick injuries
• Blood exposure
• IV-related infections
• Cannulation failures

are significantly higher if outdated or open IV systems are used.

The Introcan Safety 3 directly addresses these challenges through intelligent design and proven Braun engineering.

Key Features of Braun Introcan Safety 3

1. Integrated Passive Safety Mechanism

The catheter includes an automatic, passive safety shield that activates immediately after needle withdrawal. This significantly reduces the risk of:

• Accidental needlestick injuries
• Bloodborne pathogen exposure

No additional steps are required—ensuring compliance even during busy clinical hours.

2. Closed IV Catheter System

Unlike conventional open IV catheters, Introcan Safety® 3 features a closed system, minimizing:

• Blood leakage during insertion
• Risk of contamination
• Exposure to healthcare workers

This is especially beneficial in outpatient clinics and day-care settings where infection control standards are critical.

3. Winged Design for Stability

The integrated wings allow secure fixation to the skin, helping to:

• Reduce catheter movement
• Minimize dislodgement
• Improve patient comfort during infusion

This is particularly valuable for elderly patients, pediatric cases, and patients with fragile veins.

4. Smooth Cannulation & High First-Stick Success

The catheter is engineered for atraumatic insertion, offering:

• Excellent tactile feedback
• Smooth needle penetration
• Reduced vein trauma

Clinicians experience higher first-attempt success, saving time and improving patient satisfaction.

5. Color-Coded Sizes for Easy Identification

Each gauge is clearly color-coded, allowing quick selection during procedures. This supports:

• Faster decision-making
• Reduced errors
• Better workflow efficiency
  

Clinical Benefits for Your Practice

Enhanced Staff Safety

With built-in needlestick protection and a closed system, clinics can significantly reduce occupational injuries—helping meet OSHA and infection control guidelines.

Improved Patient Experience

Less pain, reduced blood exposure, and stable fixation translate into a more comfortable and reassuring experience for patients.

Time-Saving Workflow

Passive safety activation and easy handling reduce procedural time, allowing clinicians to focus on patient care rather than device management.

Reduced Infection Risk

The closed IV system helps lower the risk of catheter-related infections—an essential factor for clinics striving for high-quality outcomes.

Ideal Applications in Clinical Settings

The Braun Introcan Safety 3 is perfectly suited for:

• Outpatient clinics
• Day-care and ambulatory centers
• Dialysis and infusion clinics
• Oncology and specialty practices
• Emergency and minor procedure rooms

Whether for short-term IV therapy or routine infusions, this catheter delivers consistent performance.
