"Capitol Medical is thrilled to partner with Lineus Medical and we believe SafeBreak Vascular is going to be a game changer for patients and nurses," said John Bixler, Sales Manager at Capitol Medical. "Representing innovative products that improve patient care is core to our mission, so we're excited to add SafeBreak Vascular to our product portfolio."

SafeBreak Vascular is a break-away connector that fits into any peripheral IV line on any standard luer lock in the world. The device is designed to separate when damaging force is placed on an IV line, reducing vein irritation and the chances of the IV dislodging. When the device separates, valves on each side of the device close to stop the flow of medication from the pump and blood flow from the patient's IV catheter. The separated SafeBreak can be replaced with a new, sterile SafeBreak and the IV restarted without the need for another needlestick for the patient.
