The importance of patient safety

Intravenous (IV) therapy, the most frequent invasive procedure, is unsafe for both patients and healthcare staff. Around 80% of in-hospital patients receive IV therapy through a tube, which is all too often accidentally pulled out during use. The most affected patient groups are children and the elderly, accident rates as high as 36% have been reported. An annual 3.8 billion tubes are used in Europe and the USA, making this a massive problem.
Our patented solution, ReLink^®, is a safety connector for IV tubes. It protects the patients and healthcare staff when the accident is a fact.
