A safety IV cannula protects healthcare professionals by automatically covering the needle tip immediately after it is removed from the vein, thereby lowering the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. It is used just like a regular cannula for infusion of fluids and medication, but with the addition of a passive or active safety mechanism for added protection. GSTC manufactures these cannulas with safe wings and smooth catheter surface for safe and comfortable placement. This is a daily standard for nurses and technicians when performing routine IV insertions on busy wards.
