BD Medical™ Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheters

Incorporates advanced safety features to help reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks. BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheters are peripheral venous catheters that feature a push button that instantly retracts the needle and a notched needle.

BD Medical™ Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheters are safety-engineered peripheral intravenous catheters designed to help protect clinicians from needlestick injuries while delivering reliable, consistent IV access. Manufactured by BD Medical, these catheters feature automatic Autoguard™ needle shielding that activates upon needle withdrawal—requiring no additional steps or manual activation.

Engineered for smooth insertion and patient comfort, Insyte™ Autoguard™ catheters use precision-cut needles and flexible catheter materials to support controlled venipuncture and stable placement. Integrated blood control helps reduce blood exposure during insertion, while the transparent hub allows for quick visualization of flashback to confirm proper vein entry. Each catheter is sterile and intended for single use, supporting infection-control and workplace safety standards across healthcare settings.
