The development of the NovaCath™ Integrated IV Catheter System was based on extensive clinical immersion and research into the needs of both healthcare workers and patients.

This innovative next generation IV catheter system incorporates a variety of patent-pending design elements which will establish a new standard in short-peripheral IV catheter design, functionality, and performance.

Integrated Safety IV Catheter System

Pre-assembled, closed system integrates the catheter, high pressure extension tubing, multi-use flow control clamp and stabilization technology.

Designed to improve clinical outcomes, minimize occupational exposure to blood and standardize clinical practice

Advanced Catheter Stabilization™

Unique built-in stabilization features provide 360° of advanced stabilization on every single IV start. Innovative design transforms the pre-attached extension tubing, lateral stabilization arm and stabilization platform into a flexible stabilization frame.

Designed to preserve catheter integrity by minimizing catheter movement and reducing catheter dislodgement.

Next Generation Tubing Management

Unique internal 180° fluid path turn eliminates external “J-Loop” and creates a low profile design. Soft, ergonomic catheter hub supports high conformity to a variety of different insertion sites and patient populations.

Designed to improve patient comfort and reduce overall IV complications including dislodgement, infiltration, phlebitis, and occlusion.

Closed System Blood Control

Closed system design minimizes occupational exposure to blood while providing both primary flash visualization and secondary flash confirmation through the integrated extension tubing.

Extension tubing and dual vented flash chambers allow pre-priming of extension set without disruption to primary flash visualization.

Passive Needle Encapsulation

Designed to provide robust needle point protection and full needle encapsulation to eliminate occupational exposure to blood from the needle cannula.  Full needle encapsulation minimizes the risk of blood splatter or leakage.

NURSE TESTIMONIALS

“It was pretty cool because it had this tension device which I wish I invented. I think it will keep the amount of tape to a minimum and keep patients from pulling out their IVs. Closed system, passive safety devices are the wave of the future.”

L.D., IV Nurse

“It secures the IV a lot better – this little device here. That closed system is nice because it creates a lot less stress of not making a mess and sometimes I do.”

K.F., IV Nurse

“It’s a closed system; there’s no blood mess; it’s designed to be secured better on the patient’s body.”

J.B., Critical Care Nurse

“Technology is advancing and IV’s should advance too. I like it.”

H.F., ICU Nurse

“I saw the coolest prototype IV catheter…if it gets yanked on, it doesn’t get pulled out. It’s the neatest thing, we should try that!”

C.E., IV Nurse

“There’s less steps involved, less blood spills, so it’s cleaner and safer. It looks like it will be more comfortable for the patient, also.”

F.G., Critical Care Nurse

“It’s a closed system, the main design is to prevent infection with patient comfort in mind and the ease of use…. It would be something I would want to talk about because this is what I do—I teach people, I look at products.”

M.K., IV Nurse
