Abstract
Peripheral intravenous catheters (PVCs) are essential for the administration of intravenous fluids and medications for the treatment of hospitalised patients. They are the most commonly used of all vascular access devices (VADS) with annual sales of 330 million per year in the USA and 14 million in Australia. Yet, for such an important device their failure rate remains unacceptably high, with reported resites required for up to 69% of PVCs.
