Customers We Serve:

Hospital:

Safeguard Medical can put a NIO in every crash cart —meaning no matter where the emergency, you have IO capability on site. It’s as simple as attach and press—even a med student could use it in a pinch. With the NIO, you’re not spending thousands on devices that mostly sit unused. NIO is there when you need it, and inexpensive when you don’t. It’s about making IO access a standard part of your crash cart, without breaking the bank.

EMS:

Imagine an IO device that weighs about as much as a smartphone, lives in each medic’s pocket, and never needs checking or charging. That’s NIO. In the chaos of trauma or cardiac arrest, they don’t have to recall complex procedures—it’s position and fire, that’s it. The budget you’d spend on one or two drills can supply your whole fleet with NIO devices. The NIO is standardizing IO access for all your units.

Military:

The NIO+ is designed for the realities of combat medicine—immediate vascular access, lightweight, and always operational. It fits easily into an IFAK or medic pack, ensuring IO capability is always within reach, whether deployed in extreme heat, freezing cold, or high-altitude conditions. It’s already used by armed forces worldwide, reducing infection risks with its sterile, single-use design. When your medics need to work fast under fire, the NIO+ guarantees an always-ready, zero-maintenance solution that won’t let them down.
