VIDACARE, provider of solutions for immediate vascular access in circumstances when conventional IV access is challenging or impossible, has announced the introduction of its leading EZ-IO system to the UK.
The EZ-IO system works on the basis of intraosseous (IO) infusion which provides a direct conduit to the blood stream through the bone, a technique which is gaining widespread acceptance as an alternative route for administering IV drugs and fluids.
Vidacare’s lithium battery powered EZ-IO tool and patented needle sets offer healthcare professionals an IO option that is stable, secure and capable of delivering essential fluids and drugs to patients in just seconds.
As the number of emergency medical procedures in the UK requiring use of an IO device grows in line with the increase in Britain’s elderly population, the introduction of the EZ-IO system comes at a crucial time.
