Rising Prevalence of Infections and Increased Spending on Healthcare Expenses to Propel Global Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Market

Peripheral intravenous catheters refer to the medical devices that are used for infusing medications and fluids directly into the veins or drawing blood samples for testing purposes. A needle is used to insert peripheral intravenous catheters into the patient’s body. The needle is removed once the catheter is in place, which is thereafter attached over the patient’s skin using medical adhesive tape.
Peripheral intravenous catheters are a vital tool used in the delivery of patient care and are commonly used in care facilities or hospitals. Usually considered low risk devices, peripheral intravenous catheters are sometimes associated with certain complications such as phlebitis, hematoma, infection, and pain.
