"The combination of Ultrasite and StatLock IV will help B. Braun in its mission to deliver innovated and cost effective solutions that enhance both patient and provider safety," says B. Braun's vice president of marketing Sheila Kempf. "This is a natural fit for our corporate-wide safety initiative that addresses patient and clinician safety on all fronts - through products, training, education and professional services."
