Lineus Medical and Venture Medical Sign New Zealand Distribution Agreement
The Californer/10324584

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. & AUCKLAND, New Zealand - Californer -- Lineus Medical is pleased to announce a new distribution agreement with Venture Medical, a 100% New Zealand–owned medical supplier based in Auckland. Venture Medical specializes in vascular access and wound care and will now add Lineus Medical's SafeBreak® Vascular, the only breakaway device for IV lines clinically proven to reduce multiple IV complications, to its portfolio. This partnership expands SafeBreak's availability to hospitals and healthcare providers throughout New Zealand.

SafeBreak Vascular is the only breakaway device for IV lines clinically proven to reduce multiple 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.
