In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and patient satisfaction are more important than ever. Traditional blood collection methods have long posed significant challenges, impacting patient satisfaction, hospital workflows, and overall healthcare costs. The Ally, a needle-free blood collection device, offers a new solution to these pressing issues. Learn how The Ally can benefit and transform healthcare facilities and provide a better experience for patients and professionals.
The Solution: The Ally Needle-Free Blood Collection Device
The healthcare industry is in dire need of an innovative solution to address the problems associated with traditional blood collection methods. The Ally is designed to connect with a patient’s PIV catheter, providing a sterile access point for practitioners to sample blood. By adopting The Ally, hospitals and healthcare providers can establish accurate timelines for routine blood collections, significantly reduce wait times, and enhance patient comfort by eliminating the need for repetitive needle sticks.
How The Ally Works
The Ally utilizes an existing PIV catheter as an access point to their blood flow. While this might seem like an obvious solution, the design and functionality of The Ally are meticulously tailored to meet the requirements of modern healthcare. Here’s how it works:
- Compatibility: The Ally is compatible with the most commonly used catheters in the healthcare system, available in 20- and 22-gauge sizing. Its threading matches the female end on the catheter, ensuring a secure fit.
- Haptic Feedback: As The Ally advances into the PIV, it provides haptic feedback to the practitioner, ensuring accurate placement.
- Reinforced Blood Collection Tube: The reinforced tube prevents kinking and device failure, allowing blood to flow freely to a vacuum collection tube once fully deployed within the vein.
This non-invasive method of obtaining blood samples eliminates the need for multiple needle sticks, reduces patient discomfort, and streamlines the blood collection procedure.
Benefits of The Ally
The Ally offers a reliable, needle-free alternative for traditional venipuncture, making blood collection more comfortable for patients and providers. By minimizing the need for additional supplies and reducing the time required for blood collection, The Ally helps lower healthcare costs for facilities, providers, patients, and insurance companies. Its dependability in blood collection can lead to shorter hospitalizations and faster bed turnover times, ultimately enhancing overall healthcare system and facility performance. With The Ally, phlebotomists can perform their duties with less stress and increased productivity, reducing turnover rates and ensuring consistent care. Patients no longer have to endure the pain and anxiety of repetitive needle sticks, improving their overall healthcare experience.
