FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - PennZone -- Lineus Medical, maker of SafeBreak Vascular, has seen breakthrough clinical results at multiple hospital systems across the U.S. that validate the clinical and health-economic value proposition for SafeBreak, the first breakaway device for IV lines.

The cumulative data, cultivated through evidence-based medicine and demonstrated across tens of thousands of patients, is convincing and has clearly demonstrated SafeBreak's value, use, and adoption as a true standard of care. Based on the clinical success seen to date, additional capital has been raised to accelerate commercial efforts in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

To support this growth, the company has promoted Larry Hayes to President and Chief Commercial Officer. In his expanded role, Larry will oversee the company's marketing, sales, manufacturing, and human resources functions, consolidating operational leadership under a single point of accountability as Lineus scales its commercial operations.

SafeBreak Vascular is a breakaway device for IV lines that separates when a damaging force is applied to IV lines, removing the damaging forces and protecting the patient's IV line. When separation occurs, valves on both ends of the device close to prevent medication spills from the pump, and blood loss from the patient. SafeBreak has been shown to reduce mechanical IV complications in a range of 44%-91%.¹ The device is FDA-cleared for use across all vascular lines, CE Mark certified for use across the European Union, and is distributed across markets spanning more than three continents.
