OBJECTIVES: Securement adverse reactions and peripheral intravenous restarts occur frequently in hospitalized patients. The current evaluation aims at determining the cost-effectiveness of a safety engineered peripheral catheter with an integrated stabilization platform and a multi-access septum during its use in patients admitted to hospitals in Brazil. METHODS: A decision tree was elaborated for estimating the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) in short time horizon (96 hours) between safety engineered peripheral catheters with stabilization platform (winged catheters) and without platform (non-winged catheters). RESULTS: Clinical data considered were venipuncture success (rate of 90,7% for winged versus
