What PractiVet does

PractiVet is a privately-held US veterinary medical device company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, that designs, manufactures, and sells IV fluid therapy equipment and related infusion products for veterinary practices. Its core product portfolio centers on veterinary IV infusion pumps and syringe pumps, supplemented by needle-free ports (MicroClave, Neutron, NanoClave), administration sets, extension sets, custom IV configurations, and closed system drug transfer devices for oncology (ChemoClave, ChemoLock, Spiros). The company also offers specialty products including the AH1000 Large Animal IV Set (capable of delivering up to 28 liters/hour via dual large-bore inputs for equine and large-animal applications), the Smart Y Centesis Device, PinnaMend, and a surgical Skin Stapler. Products are developed in collaboration with veterinarians and veterinary technicians to address reliability, ease of use, patient safety, and space efficiency — exemplified by a proprietary interlocking pump design and a comprehensive loaner program managed through a partner repair service (Medfurbish).

PractiVet generates revenue through direct hardware sales and recurring consumable sales to veterinary hospitals, specialty clinics, emergency practices, university teaching hospitals, and large veterinary groups. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers reach the company via toll-free phone (800-535-4057), email ([email protected]), or through major US animal-health distributors including Vedco, Patterson/Animal Health International, MWI Animal Health (AmerisourceBergen), Midwest Veterinary Supply, and Penn Vet, with Benson Medical Industries serving Canada. The company also maintains direct customer-support infrastructure, an on-site training program, a dedicated pump repair partner (Medfurbish, Murrieta CA), and demand-generation channels including its website, monthly email newsletter, and industry exhibitions such as IVECCS 2026. No software, app, API, or AI/ML components are part of the product offering; the business is purely a hardware-and-consumables medical device specialist.

Customer evidence indicates deep, multi-year enterprise adoption: testimonials cite 5+ year relationships, with one hospital deploying 45 IV pumps plus 30 syringe pumps and another running 70+ PractiVet pumps daily, alongside approximately 200 ketamine infusions per year at another practice. PractiVet holds no disclosed patents, certifications, or external funding, and operates as an independent private company with no parent entity or subsidiary structure visible in the source materials.
