Lineus Medical and CHS Sign Canadian Distribution Agreement
The Californer/10267163

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. & OAKVILLE, Ontario - Californer -- Lineus Medical is proud to announce the signing of a distribution agreement with the largest independent distributor of vascular access products in Canada, Canadian Hospital Specialties (CHS). CHS is a privately held medical device manufacturer and specialty distributor employing approximately 450 employees and located in Oakville, Ontario. CHS sells medical devices in both the acute care hospital and non-acute healthcare space in Canada and internationally with over 70 sales representatives. Lineus Medical's SafeBreak Vascular, a breakaway device for all IV lines, will now be actively sold in all provinces of Canada.

SafeBreak Vascular is the only breakaway device for IV lines proven to reduce IV complications.¹ When a harmful force is placed on the line, SafeBreak intentionally separates to remove the damaging force and protect the patient's IV. When SafeBreak separates, valves on both ends of the device close preventing medicine spills from the pump and blood loss from the patient. The separated device also causes the IV pump to alarm, notifying the nursing staff to check on the patient. To replace SafeBreak, each component is unthreaded from the line, a new sterile SafeBreak is installed, and the patient's infusion is restarted. It's a win-win-win. Patients avoid additional needlesticks, nurses save time, and hospitals save money¹. SafeBreak is cleared for all vascular lines down to two weeks of age both in the United Sates and Canada.
