FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - PennZone -- Lineus Medical has been granted five additional international patents for its flagship product, SafeBreak® Vascular, in Korea, Brazil, Australia, India, and China. These patents strengthen Lineus Medical's intellectual property portfolio as the company continues expanding into major healthcare markets worldwide. They also mark a key milestone toward obtaining regulatory clearances and establishing distribution partnerships in these regions.

SafeBreak Vascular is the only break-away device for IV lines clinically 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.

"They not only protect our product from being copied and add value to the company, they also provide us credibility in establishing relationships with new distribution partners in these countries."
