VESSEL HEALTH AND PRESERVATION™
(continued)

Matching the patient's current state of health with the need for intravenous access prevents unnecessary intravenous (IV) restarts, reduces medication delays and provides for optimal outcomes. Daily assessment of the device and the insertion site allow for timely management of any complications and prompt removal of the device as soon as it is no longer medically necessary.

The Vessel Health and Preservation Protocol provides guidance in patient assessment, device selection and daily assessment, providing for safe and effective delivery of the treatment plan with positive outcomes for the patient and the hospital.
