Transforming Vascular Access Through Innovation

At AVATAR, we are dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare by developing cutting-edge solutions that seamlessly integrate research into clinical practice. Our innovations are designed to enhance patient outcomes, streamline clinical workflows, and provide comprehensive resources for both clinicians and patients. Explore our groundbreaking tools and resources that are setting new standards in vascular access care.

Here are some of our key innovations:

Difficult IV Access Resources

Up to 70% of patients presenting to emergency departments and up to 80% of hospital admissions require an intravenous (IV) drip. Our resources are designed to assist both consumers and clinicians.

I-DECIDED® Tool

I-DECIDED® is a validated, evidence-based tool for the assessment and decision-making of invasive devices. This checklist promotes comprehensive management and timely removal of temporary invasive devices.

IV Passport

Passport is designed to streamline the management of intravenous (IV) access across multiple hospital visits. This app helps patients and clinicians document, manage, and solve common IV-related issues.

miniMAGIC

miniMAGIC is the world's first paediatric appropriateness criteria for intravenous catheters. Built using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method, miniMAGIC condenses current evidence into simple criteria to help you choose the right IV devices for your paediatric patients.

Our commitment to innovation in vascular access continues to drive us towards developing tools and resources that improve patient care and outcomes. Stay updated with our latest advancements and learn how you can integrate these innovations into your practice.

All our innovations are freely accessible on the website and available for non-commercial use.
