Arrowg+ard Blue Advance™ Midline

Designed to address typical complaints of today’s midlines, the pressure-injectable Arrowg+ard Blue Advance™ Midline is the only midline with antithrombogenic and antimicrobial properties.1,2 Using a familiar insertion technique, it offers critical innovations appreciated by vascular access specialists, patients, and hospitals.

  • The Arrowg+ard Blue Advance™ Midline reduces the risk of catheter-related complications—including occlusion, phlebitis, and fibrin sheath accumulation on catheter surfaces—for at least 29 days1,3
  • Designed to actually inhibit fibrin sheath formation on the catheter surface1
  • GlideThru® Sheath and Blue FlexTip® Feature to minimize vessel damage4
