Spike Assist™

The Spike Assist is designed with nurses and pharmacy personnel in mind, while saving money by preventing waste. The patented design allows for easier spiking by requiring less force, since there is less pressure on the bag. With this principle, accidental side-punctures disappear, which saves money from throwing away costly IV bags. More stability in spiking also has the potential to lower infection rates from miss-spikes. The hard plastic also prevents staff injury from needle sticks or spike punctures, which could stop exposure to drugs and blood borne pathogens, and preventing a visit to the occupational medicine office. This inexpensive device is cost saving, while simultaneously increasing patient safety and worker safety. Place one on each IV bag spike site, and a second one on each medicine inject port in the pharmacy, and watch waste cost melt away.

Multiple colors are available to help quickly identify labeled medications! Green for antibiotics, Yellow for Heparin, and any other colors that your institution wishes to implement!

The first thing you will notice is that the Spike Assist is small, lightweight, and highly visible for emergency situations, where speed is critical. The inner foam tape allows for great adhesion without compressing the spike port.

Easy to grasp adhesive protectors must be removed before attaching the device.

Easily applied, just above the ports, the Spike Assist can be clamped above both the injection port and the IV tubing port.

Once clamped, the device should not come off to prevent cross patient contamination. The inexpensive plastic design makes the device disposable, and easily replaceable instead of dealing with harsh cleaning chemicals.

Once clamped, you will find increased stability and easier spiking, with minimal chance of piercing the bag itself, thus reducing wasted product. This increases patient safety by preventing the need to remake medication, which saves time when it is most critical. This also increases staff safety from injury from mis-spiking, and saves the hospital money from wasted bags.

In hospital pharmacy settings, the Spike Assist protects fingers from accidental needle sticks, increasing employee safety.
