In July 2022, B. Braun Medical Inc., a prominent player in infusion therapy, unveiled its latest product, the Introcan Safety 2 IV Catheter, with a unique one-time blood control mechanism. The Introcan Safety 2 IV Catheter, developed by B. Braun, aims to enhance the safety of IV access for healthcare professionals by minimizing the likelihood of needlestick injuries and potential blood exposure. The establishment of intravenous (IV) access is a crucial component of infusion therapy, and this invasive technique remains linked to possible hazards for healthcare providers.
Clinicians confront a significant risk of needlestick injuries in their regular practice. According to the CDC, there are around 385,000 incidents of sharps injuries annually, with more than 30% of these resulting from hollow-bore needles, such as those employed in peripheral IV catheters (PIVCs).
Research indicates that passive, fully automated safety systems exhibit double the effectiveness of a semi-automatic 'push-button' safety shield and three times the effectiveness of a manually sliding barrier. The Introcan Safety 2 provides clinicians with a fully automated passive safety mechanism, ensuring their protection. Healthcare personnel have concerns about both needlestick injuries and mucocutaneous blood exposure while initiating an IV. Indeed, the majority of nurses expressed apprehension regarding blood exposure, both in terms of their personal safety and the safety of their patients.
In certain international markets, Shockwave Medical has unveiled its new coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) catheter in May 2023. The Shockwave C²⁺ IVL catheter is designed for the management of highly calcified coronary artery disease. The commercial availability of Shockwave C²⁺ for the treatment of de novo coronary artery disease is currently accessible in Europe and certain other regions. It is purported to provide a 50% increase in the number of pulses per catheter compared to Shockwave C².
Additionally, it is designed to effectively treat longer calcified lesions, as well as complex eccentric and nodular calcium formations. Shockwave C²⁺ retains the user-friendly catheter design and ease of use that have been crucial to the success of Shockwave IVL. It also includes enhancements that will improve procedural efficiency and optimize the treatment of complex morphologies.
