TrueSafe Comfort - Model BC - Blood Control IV Catheter
With our Innovative Blood Control Active Check Valve Technology. Blood Control Active: Check Valve Technology. Our patent-pending Active Check Valve inhibits the flow of blood during IV cannulation, engineered to protect healthcare professionals and their patients from exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Our innovative Blood Control IV catheters last for 5 years, whereas comparable products have a limited 2-year shelf life.
The distance between the needle and the catheter tip is called the heel distance. The larger the heel distance, the more penetrative force required for catheter insertion.
MedSource has optimized the heel distance to help reduce the penetrative force required during IV cannulation. Reduction in this force can potentially mean less insertion-site trauma, preserved vessel health, and increased patient comfort.
