A color-changing patch that detects IV failure early by revealing its main symptoms — no power, no complexity, just visible protection.
Peripheral IVs are one of the most common procedures in medicine, but more than 50% fail before therapy is completed.
Infiltration and extravasation can lead to tissue damage, scarring, and in neonates, even death.
These events often go undetected until it's too late — especially in high-acuity or understaffed settings.
IV-Safe™ integrates seamlessly with existing securement methods and visibly changes color when fluid leakage or swelling occurs — two early signs of infiltration.
It requires no power, no sensors, and no change to the IV insertion workflow.

Fully passive — no electronics or batteries
Compatible with standard IV securement devices
