Leaderflex in Grip Lok
As the most common invasive hospital procedure, literature and studies have shown that IV catheters fail too often and at, what should be, an unacceptable rate. Literature has shown that some vascular access devices, such as PICCs, are placed inappropriately and/or unnecessarily. The repeated venipunctures with peripheral IV (PIVs) catheters and risks associated with centrally placed vascular access devices (VADs) lead to patient dissatisfaction, venous depletion, and highlights an obvious need for an additional tool in our vascular access toolbox.
Choose Leaderflex for a better IV experience.
