The PennZone

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - PennZone -- Lineus Medical announces a significant reduction in price of nearly 15% for its flagship product, SafeBreak Vascular, in the United States. After creating a new device classification with the FDA and becoming the first break-away device available for IV lines in the US, SafeBreak Vascular was first released with a list price of $6.90. Since its release, increased sales volume and concentrated efforts toward manufacturing efficiencies support a price adjustment with a new list price of $5.90, effective on September 1^st, 2024.

SafeBreak Vascular is the only break-away device for IV lines proven to reduce IV complications¹.  When a harmful force is placed on the line, SafeBreak intentionally separates to remove the damaging force and protect the patient's IV. When SafeBreak separates, valves on both ends of the device close preventing medicine spills from the pump and blood loss from the patient. To replace SafeBreak, each component is unthreaded from the line, a new sterile SafeBreak is installed, and the patent's infusion is restarted. Patients avoid additional needlesticks, nurses save time, and hospitals save money¹.

"A large focus of our strategy is maximizing our economic value proposition for the hospital." Lineus Medical's Vice President of Sales, Larry Hayes comments, "Reducing our price allows for both current and new accounts to take advantage of cost savings, and in doing so, we are making it easier for hospitals to invest in improved vascular access care for their patients."

Vance Clement, CEO of Lineus Medical, stated, "Inflation is hitting everyone, and we are all used to prices going up.  This is especially true in healthcare, where prices never go down. However, SafeBreak, which is proudly made in the USA, is changing that. As we continue to grow, we will keep investing in manufacturing so that we can lower the cost of SafeBreak again in the future."

Lineus Medical is committed to improving patient safety and advancing vascular access care and believes that this price reduction is another important step in our mission to remove the pains associated with medical lines.  Anyone interested in SafeBreak Vascular's price reduction can visit our website www.lineusmed.com to learn more.
