Secure Port IV: The revolution in Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICCs) and Central Venous Catheters (CVCs) securement
The introduction of peripherally inserted central catheters (PIVCs) and central Venous catheters (CVCs) has significantly improved the quality and accessibility of intravenous (IV) therapy in healthcare settings. However, the use of these devices is often accompanied by a significant risk of complications, such as infection, dislodgement, or catheter migration. To address these issues, secure Port IV, a novel cyanoacrylate-based adhesion formulation, has been developed to provide an innovative solution for securing these critical medical devices.
Features and Benefits:
Secure Port IV is a nonautolytic, fast-drying cyanoacrylate adhesive that forms a strong and durable bond to various skin types and materials. The adhesive is Specifically formulated to secure PIVCs, CVCs, and PICCs, providing a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional securement techniques such as transparent dressings and tape. The unique properties of Secure Port IV allow it to:
-
Prevent Catheter Displacement: The adhesive effectively prevents the catheter from moving or shifting while in use, reducing the risk of dislodgment and the need for reinsertion.
-
Secure the Insertion Site: Secure Port IV secures the catheter hub to the skin, eliminating the need for tape or dressings that can be bulky and cumbersome.
-
Minimize Infection Risk: The antimicrobial properties of cyanoacrylate help to reduce the risk of bacterial colonization and infection at the insertion site.
-
Ensure Rapid Hemostasis: The rapid setting time of Secure Port IV allows for immediate hemostasis, minimizing postoperative bleeding and the need for further intervention.
-
Facilitate Dressing Changes: With Secure Port IV, healthcare professionals can easily change dressings without the need for additional steps to reattach the catheter.
-
Be Used with All Types of Catheters: The versatility of Secure Port IV allows it to be used with a wide range of catheter types, including PIVCs, midlines, and CVCs.
-
Require Minimal Training: Secure Port IV is simple to apply, requiring only minimal training to achieve optimal results.
Technical Information:
Secure Port IV is a 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate adhesive that cures Flexibly to prevent motion induced pullout and disconnection. The formula contains 80% 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate and 20% n-butyl cyanoacrylate, and it typically requires less than 0.15ml to apply per catheter. The adhesive provides an immediate water-resistant barrier and maintains its integrity for up to 7 days, which reduces the frequency of dressing changes and the risk of exposure to body fluids.
Regulatory Compliance:
Secure Port IV is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use with intravenous devices and is compliant with all relevant medical device regulations and standards.
临床研究：
临床研究表明，Secure Port IV 在固定 PICC、CVC 和外周导管方面表现出色。该粘合剂能够迅速止血、减少感染风险，并且几乎不粘在皮肤上，这使得它成为易受氯己定影响的患者（如新生儿）的理想选择。此外，由于该粘合剂具有很强的抗微生物作用，因此它可以有效预防细菌、真菌和酵母菌的定植。
结论：
Secure Port IV 是一种革命性的医疗设备，可显著降低中心静脉导管和外周导管的并发症风险。其快速固化、强大的粘附力和抗菌特性使得它成为一种经济实惠、易于使用的解决方案，可以改善患者的治疗结果并减少整体医疗成本。随着对医疗设备安全和有效性的需求不断增长，Secure Port IV无疑是医疗机构关注的焦点。
