EDITORIAL

Letter from Caroll H. Neubauer
The poet and scholar Mark Van Doren once said, “The art of teaching is the art of assisting
discovery.” B. Braun’s commitment to Sharing Expertise keeps us aligned with that reality
every working day.

The technology and know-how we share with customers and other medical professionals
help them discover ways to work safer and more efficiently. We recognize that fully
informing and supporting our partners are indispensable requirements.

This issue of onlineUSA spotlights some notable examples. There’s the brilliantly engineered
Introcan Safety® passive IV catheter that limits needlestick injuries at Memorial Hospital of
Rhode Island (page 5) and hundreds of other facilities nationwide. There’s the widespread use
of our needleless connector technology (page 8). And there’s the powerful understanding of
clinical needs behind the Design Options® program, helping our customers control costs and
deliver exceptional care with exactly the IV administration sets they require (page 12).

In each of these cases, our guiding principle has been essential. Sharing Expertise makes our
technological advancements even more valuable to the medical community. Our approach is
a blueprint for business success.
We’d like to hear from you.

• Adopt safety-engineered devices, particularly those
with a passive safety mechanism – for example,
B. Braun’s Introcan Safety® IV Catheter – in which no
action by the HCW is required for the safety mechanism
to engage the needle.

• Properly document all exposures, which will result
in correct post-exposure monitoring and appropriate
post-exposure treatment.

• Use personal protective equipment including gloves in
all venipuncture procedures and masks, goggles or face
shields to prevent blood splashes when appropriate.

Needleless connectors show B. Braun’s continuing
commitment to healthcare worker safety

Years before there was a federal Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, B. Braun was a

leader and innovator in the effort to control and minimize needle risk to doctors, nurses

and other healthcare workers. Our commitment drove our work to improve needleless

connectors, and led to the development of today’s Center of Excellence for these products.
