Catheter-associated bloodstream infections

reported from hospitals across the United

States have increased since the introduction

of needleless devices.

According to the CDC, an estimated 250,000

catheter-related bloodstream infections occur

in US hospitals each year.

Catheter-related infections cost the US

healthcare system $25,000 per episode.

As many as 28,000 patients die each year

in the US because of catheter-related

bloodstream infections.

DESIGNED FOR PATIENT AND CLINICIAN SAFETY Patient Safe ® syringes do not transfer contaminants to luer-activated valves or patients Unique luer guard promotes safe handling of syringe and medication.
