Making IV access safe for clinicians
Needlestick injuries continue to be one of the highest risk clinicians will face during their daily routine. A recent landmark study showed that passive, fully automatic safety devices are most effective for needlestick injury prevention.1,2
With B. Braun’s Introcan Safety® 3, you are protected by a truly automatic safety device.
The Passive Safety Shield engages as the needle tip passes through the catheter hub. It deploys automatically and permanently shields the needle tip. This feature cannot be bypassed and is designed to protect clinicians against needlestick injuries.

- Deploys automatically
- Cannot be bypassed
