The cost? In minor cases, blistering in pain. But in major cases? Scarring. Limbs. Lives.

IV failure costs hospitals over 18,000 USD per failure event in adults, and over 300,000,000 USD for neonates.

IVs are the cornerstone
of modern medical care.
But they fail.

THIS PROBLEM IMPACTS ALL OF US.
Current methods of IV detection are few and too expensive for mass implementation or use in low-resource settings.

Nurses perform hourly checks to examine for redness, swelling, or fluid leakage, but are often overwhelmed by the number of patients they must be monitoring.

Signs of failure are covered up by clothing or opaque securement patches.

Newborns and infants cannot advocate for their pain, or explain where it is coming from. Their small, friable veins are the most suceptible to failure.
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?
IV-Safe offers a solution.
