WAND^® Testimonials

"The all-in-one component of The PICC WAND™ ensures user safety and ease of PICC placement. It increases patient comfort and minimizes blood loss and trauma to veins. The WAND will undoubtedly set the standard for the future in vascular access."

Teresa Kamps RN, CRNI

 

"If you'd like to minimize exchange sequences, and add needle safety to your venous access procedures, The WAND is an excellent tool. With the Fast-flash feature, The WAND allows the clinician to confirm successful venous access, and quickly transition to guidewire and sheath placement in one device."

Gail Egan Sansivero, MS, ANP

 

"The demand for vascular access and long-term IV therapy is expected to increase in the future because of an aging population, obesity and medical innovations. As a result of improper care of IVs, caustic drugs and poor choice of access, patients are at risk for more complications. The success rate for vascular access has been known to increase with the use of advanced training and the newer methods of placement. The WAND is a great advantage for these types of patients that require short term vascular access, but require specialized access."

Cindy J. Solinsky, RN, BSN

 

"The WAND facilitates PICC placement by enabling me to quickly and safely gain venous access.  The innovative design minimizes blood loss, decreases procedure time, optimizes operator safety and increases patient comfort. I have seen these benefits first-hand, and I am convinced that many other vascular specialists will adopt this technology."

Erin Capo, PA

 

"The WAND's all-in-one design will prevent reaching for parts, and reduce the risk for splash contamination and wire embolism, thereby increasing the stability during the access process. The Fast-flash visualization should decrease double walling and the ZERO-EDGE™ transition dilator/sheath should reduce the need for nicking the skin; thus increasing the safety for the patient and clinician alike"

"When I actually saw the promotional CD on The WAND, I actually laughed. With MST, the floppy wire, the difficult thread of the introducer over the wire and the loss of cannulation reaching for the wire was so absolutely true, it was funny! I could relate to it all."

"I actually tried The WAND when I was in Las Vegas at the AVA convention. I was so excited in the maneuverability, the quickness and the simplicity of use. What impressed me even more was the safety, and decreased risk of contamination for both myself and my patient."

"I can't imagine why anyone would choose MST over AST/WAND. I don't believe anyone will be using MST in the future. The future is in The WAND!"
