Cannula have hitherto been arranged for the user to move the cannula forward, over the tip of the needle, using the index finger. This forward movement of the cannula must be performed swiftly once the tip of the needle has entered the lumen of the blood vessel. Any slight movement of the tip of the needle in the blood vessel lumen may result in puncture and failed cannulation; any withdrawal of the tip of the needle, prior to cannula placement in the lumen, will also result in failure. Multiple punctures is traumatic, increase chances of introducing infection because staff fail to observe drying time and the bacteria are resistant to disinfectants and antiseptic wash.

Medical product manufacturers have developed various methods and devices offering protection from needle stick injuries but none claim to reduce  the number of attempts.

We believe reduction of attempts required to successfully introduce cannula in a vein must be our primary task as multiple punctures increase risk of spreading infections. 30% of health people are now colonised with CA-MRSA in their hands. With no new antibiotic and disinfectants not effective, patents life is at risk.
