The M/29® provides a new, cost‐effective standard in comfort, safety and productivity designed specifically for the midterm category. The M/29® is an ideal solution for those patients requiring most common peripheral IV therapies. The M/29® system is a product platform serving multiple segments and a nearly perfect response to the pending CDC Guidelines for The Prevention of Intravascular Device‐Related Infections which recommends that clinicians “Use a midline catheter or peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), instead of a short peripheral catheter, when the duration of IV therapy will likely exceed six days.”
- Peripheral IV – existing policy applies
- Simple to place with minimal training
- Over the needle insertion – minimal draping required
- Eliminates risk of airborne or touch contamination
- Indwelling time up to 4 weeks
- Applicable to all standard PIV and Midline uses
- Peelguard® eliminates catheter migration
- Cost effective for therapies in excess of 4 days
- Eliminates the need for frequent replacement of PIV, reduces needle sticks – preserves vascularity
Our Target Markets:
- Acute Care Settings
- Sub Acute Care Settings
- Long Term Care Settings
- Home Care
- Emergency Medicine
The M/29® catheter system. Bridging the Midterm Gap
The Challenge: Healthcare systems are facing intense pressures to reduce costs and increase productivity as population’s age, nursing resources dwindle, and reimbursement policies change.
Aging populations are driving an increase in vascular access procedures and the need to preserve the vascular system. Hospitals are no longer reimbursed for hospital acquired infections and midterm vascular access device choices have been limited.
The M/29® to the Rescue: The M/29® offers the caregiver a superior choice to short peripheral catheters, traditional midline catheters, and PICC’s for the most common intermediate dwell applications – the simplicity of short peripheral insertion, all the care delivery benefits of a midline, soon to be power injectable and breakthrough infection management – the right line from the start
