Peripheral IV Catheter (PIVC)

The first step to a safe and efficient infusion therapy

It is the peripheral IV catheter (PIVC) that makes therapies accessible in first place. This key function is why we are committed to set new benchmarks in patient access since 1962.

Peripheral IV catheters are the most common invasive procedure performed in hospitals.1 Although a routine hospital procedure, the placement of PIVCs remains a complex task that is associated with complications and risks for both patients and medical staff, such as: 

  • Blood spillage and exposure impact
  • Catheter-related complications such as dislodgement, infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis and infection2
  • Needlestick injuries and related infections

Because patient access is so common, PIVCs play a key role in improving the quality of infusion therapy. B. Braun peripheral IV catheters can help preventing many of these risks and consequential costs.
