Bridge | MedSource TrueSafe Comfort IV Catheters

The Bridge | MedSource TrueSafe Comfort IV Catheter, manufactured by MedSource Labs and brought to market by Bridge, features a push-button needle retraction safety mechanism. This design provides instant, one-step needle retraction at the press of a button, immediately encapsulating the used needle inside the catheter housing.

TrueSafe Comfort catheters feature the RapidFlash notched needle design in gauges 20G through 24G. The notched needle creates a channel along the needle bevel that provides quick, clear visual confirmation of successful venipuncture through faster flash-back visualization.

The push-button mechanism is positioned for intuitive thumb activation. After confirming venipuncture via flash-back, the clinician presses the button to instantly retract the needle into the safety housing. An audible click confirms permanent needle encapsulation.

Like the ClearSafe line, TrueSafe Comfort catheters are available in both Blood Control (BC) and Standard configurations. The Blood Control variant includes an integrated check valve that eliminates blood leakage during catheter connection and disconnection sequences.

The TrueSafe Comfort line is particularly well-suited for high-volume settings like medspas and wellness clinics where speed and consistency of insertion are critical to patient throughput and satisfaction.
