Safety for Everyone in The Room During and After the Procedure<\/span><\/h2>

Suture-based catheter securement and skin closure procedures expose healthcare workers to serious risks of needle stick injuries and bloodborne pathogens. The SafePathTM<\/sup> Safety Suturing System has been designed to address significant unmet safety and performance needs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
