Access Scientific

In 1953, the newly introduced Seldinger Technique represented a significant improvement in vascular access technology. Later, the Modified Seldinger Technique further advanced ease-of-access, by using a dilator coupled with a sheath, and eventually evolved into today’s standard, over-wire insertion technique. Despite its advantages, hazards are associated with the Modified Seldinger Technique. These include: accidental needlestick injury, guidewire embolus,contamination, bleeding, lost cannulation during the procedure… and more. The WAND enables healthcare
providers to utilize the new Accelerated Seldinger Technique, representing a quantum leap forward in vascular access technology.

The WAND is an all-in-one (needle-guidewire-dilatorsheath) safety introducer that speeds over-wire vascular access while reducing the risk of guidewire embolus, contamination and accidental needlestick injury. Experienced clinicians are hailing The WAND as the new standard in vascular access technology—faster, safer and simpler.

The Accelerated Seldinger Technique reduces the number of exchanges and steps necessary for vascular access.  It reduces the risk of air embolism, contamination, guidewire embolus, loss of cannulation during the procedure, and accidental needlestick injury.
