TRUECATH

TrueCath is a medical device company creating the next generation of peripheral IV auto-catheters. Truecath is of similar size, shape, and manufacturing cost to the currently used PIVC systems. It can also be placed with only one hand and is mostly independent of operator skill level. Importantly, Truecath will prevent the most common cause of missed first attempt PIVC placement, which is penetration through the back wall of the vessel and catheter failure. This key advantage will decrease the multitude of complications involved with PIVC placement, improve patient comfort and reduce healthcare costs. The company was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Camarillo, California.
