As the global leader in vascular access solutions, BD is committed to advancing the standard of care for IV therapy and blood draws for patients and health care providers. The availability of the BD Prevue™ II System further drives the BD "One-Stick Hospital Stay" vision to help reduce unnecessary needlesticks by choosing the right vascular access device and placing it successfully the first time. This is one of three pillars of the vision that also includes using one IV line as a single access point for required therapies and blood draws, and optimal maintenance of the IV line to help reduce the risk of complications so it does not have to be replaced and lasts throughout a patient's hospital stay.
