* Long dwell times. Average dwell time was 6.8 days, a length never before documented in published literature for any other peripheral IV catheter.
* Power injection. Power injection was successfully performed 15 times on 10 subjects, without complications.
* Blood draws. The catheter was successfully used to draw blood in 95% of subjects, virtually eliminating the need for additional needlesticks of patients to perform blood tests.
"This study shows that the POWERWAND is fulfilling its promise of being a safer, more comfortable long-term IV catheter, which can also replace central lines in many cases," said Dr. Bierman.
