Shielded IV catheter for safe insertion
The BD Insyte Autoguard shielded IV catheter is designed to assist healthcare professionals in the safe and efficient insertion of an intravenous catheter. The catheter features an integrated safety mechanism whereby the needle is automatically retracted at the touch of a button.

Reduces the risk of needlestick injuries
The push-button shielding technology ensures that the needle is fully shielded after use. This helps to reduce the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries and exposure to blood-borne pathogens, without compromising ease of use during insertion.

Rapid blood visualisation with BD Instaflash
BD Instaflash needle technology, available on 20–24 G products, enables rapid blood visualisation at the puncture site. This allows the healthcare professional to confirm more quickly that the catheter is correctly positioned, which can contribute to a higher success rate on the first attempt and fewer repeat attempts.

BD Vialon biomaterial for greater comfort
The catheter is manufactured from BD Vialon biomaterial, which softens once inside the blood vessel. This enhances patient comfort, may allow for longer indwelling times and helps to reduce the risk of mechanical phlebitis.
