Vascular access management – for fewer infections

Together, we can significantly reduce vascular access-associated infections with holistic solutions and standardized best practices.

The urgency of preventing infections linked to vascular access remains critical. With up to 70% patients requiring peripheral venous catheterization during their hospital stay, the burden of bloodstream infections is potentially huge1.

The good news is that infection through vascular access procedures is among the most preventable healthcare-acquired infections (HAI) (source). Awareness, training, best practices and working with optimized products can reduce infection rates by up to 70%2. Get informed here.
