Arrowg+ard Blue Advance® Midline

Performance and protection your team can trust

As your partner in vascular access, Teleflex understands you make sure every step of the catheter insertion process is done with care and attention to minimize contamination. However, post-insertion catheter surfaces are clinically out of reach and can harbor microbial colonization or fibrin sheath accumulation without warning, putting patients at risk. That’s why we created Arrowg+ard Blue Advance® Midlines to help protect indwelling catheter surfaces from colonizing CLABSI-causing pathogens and fibrin sheath accumulation.1,2
