AbstractTerumo's Surshield Surflow II i.v. catheter automatically engages a stainless steel clip to shield its needle tip when the needle goes out from the catheter hub. However, in our experience the safety clip of Surshield Surflow II remains in the catheter hub in a high proportion of cases when the catheter hub is held with a pair of forceps. The hub wall is so thin that the force existed to hold the hub can be easily transmitted to the safety clip. Another factor is the loose attachment of the safety clip to the needle tip. To prevent needle stick injury, further improvement of safety i.v. catheters is necessary to lead their increased use.
