Nurse reactions to NovaCath™ Prototypes:

“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 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 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’s 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
