SafeBreak Vascular is the only breakaway device for IV lines clinically proven to reduce multiple IV complications.1 When a harmful force is placed on the line, SafeBreak intentionally separates to remove the damaging force and protect the patient's IV. When SafeBreak separates, valves on both ends of the device close preventing medicine spills from the pump and blood loss from the patient. The separated device also causes the IV pump to alarm, notifying the nursing staff to check on the patient. To replace SafeBreak, each component is unthreaded from the line, a new sterile SafeBreak is installed, and the patient's infusion is restarted. It's a win-win-win. Patients avoid additional needlesticks, nurses save time, and hospitals save money1. SafeBreak is cleared for all vascular lines down to two weeks of age both in the United Sates and Canada.
Larry Hayes, Lineus Medical's Chief Commercial Officer, stated, "This agreement marks a significant milestone in Lineus Medical's international growth. By partnering with Venture Medical, we are expanding SafeBreak Vascular into a new market and building momentum for broader global adoption. Venture Medical's local expertise and strong customer relationships make them the right partner to drive commercial success in New Zealand."
"Signing this agreement with Venture Medical is an important step in bringing SafeBreak Vascular to the people of New Zealand," Vance Clement CEO of Lineus Medical stated. "Our mission is to reduce the "pains" associated with medical lines and make SafeBreak the standard of care globally."
