NP Medical’s nCompass IV Catheter

Improving Stability and Ease of Use at the Point of Care

Problem: Traditional IV catheter systems involve multiple components and steps, leading to time-consuming insertions, unstable dressings, and tubing prone to kinking—putting patient comfort and caregiver efficiency at risk.

Solution: HaA PD observed clinical use to streamline insertion and stabilization. We introduced a larger securement surface and a 180-degree fluid pathway to reduce kinking and improve fitment. The resulting nCompass design simplified workflow and delivered greater reliability, aligning with NP Medical’s mission of smarter, safer care.
