Access Scientific, LLC is a San Diego-based medical device maker focused on vascular access solutions. It commercializes its WAND technology through the POWERWAND midline catheter, along with related products, with the aim of enabling faster, safer insertions and supporting midline programs that can reduce central line use and infection risk. Its customers include hospitals and clinicians responsible for vascular access procedures. The company notes a track record of zero bloodstream infections across more than 23,000 catheter days with POWERWAND, and its POWERWAND EDC catheter is FDA-cleared for up to 29 days, offering potential for a one-stay hospitalization in suitable cases. The CVC WAND features a peelable, air-competent introducer sheath designed to reduce bleeding, air embolism, and catheter contamination, supporting zero-CLABSI objectives. In May 2020, Smiths Medical Group acquired Access Scientific, marking a notable corporate development.
