BD selected Origin to develop a global brand name for their revolutionary new integrated I.V. system. The ‘closed’ nature of the system affords many improvements over existing technology including; quick and simple insertion, increased patient comfort, improved user/patient safety and reduced levels of contamination and infection.

Coined from 'next' and 'I.V.', the name Nexiva was chosen for its universal ease of pronunciation, differentiated composition and its legal availability.
