WITH THE SYSTEM
STRAP STYLE
The EZ-STIX system significantly improves cannulation outcomes by aiding in visualization and confirming fistula centering by palpation, offering successful first-try cannulation without the likelihood of mis-stick infiltration.
Reclaim independence with confidence: with no more painful vessel hunting that seemed inevitable with
traditional cannulation attempts, the EZ-STIX system virtually eliminates mis-sticks and retries.
Suitable for use on both natural and graft fistulas, the EZ-STIX system enhances the visualization of a vessel while stabilizing it to allow successful needle insertion the first time, significantly reducing trauma.
The EZ-STIX system includes multiple device formats: a strap style and a spring clamp style. Although they look very different, they all function and accomplish the same goal of visualizing and stabilizing fistulas and blood vessels for needle insertion. The individual’s needs and dexterity dictate which one a patient should use.
The strap style (using an easy-releasing tourniquet, hook and loop material, or some other easy-to-release strap) is the more customizable device for a perfect fit and is best suited for early fistula formation. It offers 7 manufactured features to produce a consistent best fit for all needs.
The spring clamp design offers 5 manufactured features and is easier to use by single-handed patients doing their own cannulation but may not be suitable for all patients.
The patient’s treatment specialist, with the assistance of the EZ-STIX System's trained staff, will choose the appropriate version of the device. Multiple device configurations will be provided until the best fit is accomplished.
Because of the unique nature of the fistula, patients can mix and match the device styles to assure perfect cannulations the first time, every time.

What Will Work Best for You?
The Strap Style
This is a more compact design and may use a quick-release tourniquet or other strapping methods such as hook and loop material to affix the device to the patient. It offers 7 configurable features manufactured in the design, enabling the best possible fit and utility.
A single-handed patient or a second-party assistant, if desired, can use this device for home dialysis. (The patient can use an additional tourniquet if needed.) Once applied, EZ-STIX will maintain the vessel in a stable location to prevent vessel rolling.
The device will promote straight needle insertion by centering the vessel between its 2 fingers. Also, the fingers will help the patient locate the proper needle insertion point and visualize the correct initial needle angle.
The Spring Clamp Style

A single-handed patient or a second-party assistant, if desired, can use this device for home dialysis. (The patient can use an additional tourniquet if needed).
Once applied, the EZ-STIX system will hold the vessel in a stable location and prevent vessel rolling. The device will promote straight needle insertion by centering the vessel between its 2 fingers. Also, the fingers will help the patient locate the proper needle insertion point and visualize the correct initial needle angle.
Although significantly faster and easier to use by single-handed patients doing their own cannulation either at home or in-center, this design application does not offer all the fitting features of the strap design.
Flexibility &
What's Right for You
Because of the extensive modifiable features of each device style, the EZ-STIX system is appropriate for juveniles to octogenarians, even with problematic fistulas.
The EZ-STIX system comes with multiple types of devices, so the user can choose the one that will work best
for their treatment. The inventor of this device used both for cannulations as his fistula was developing.
