Velano Vascular Gains FDA Clearance for Needle-Free Blood Draw Technology

Velano Vascular has received FDA marketing clearance for PIVO, its needle-free vascular access device that seeks to improve the blood draw experience for patients while reducing risks to patients and practitioners.

PIVO is a single-use, disposable device that enables blood sampling from indwelling peripheral IV lines, allowing hospitals to reduce reliance on repeated needle sticks and central line access for blood collection. — Cynthia Jessup
