« Back to Glossary Index
A device used to administer fluids or medications through an intravenous (IV) line without the use of a needle. These systems use a small, blunt cannula or spike to puncture the skin and enter the vein, minimizing the risk of needle-related injuries and infection. Needleless IV systems are often used in hospital settings to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries among healthcare workers and to improve patient comfort during IV treatment.
