Plasticsnews.com reports on a new IV catheter system designed to minimise the risk of needle-stick injuries and occupational exposure to blood which has received market clearance from the FDA. 

They say that the NovaCath Secure IV Catheter System, manufactured by Tangent Medical Technologies, integrates a series of next-generation technologies designed to address catheter stabilisation, healthcare worker safety, tubing management and patient comfort.

Apparently, TMT claim that the NovaCath’s integrated advanced catheter stabilisation technology can eliminate an external ‘j-loop’ based on its redirect of the fluid path internal to the device.
