  • Hypoallergenic, organic, breathable and latex-free to reduce the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions. Patient friendly adhesive is gentle to fragile skin. Excellent adhesion characteristics with dermal integrity.
  • Products designed to work with full range of latex and silicone Foley catheters
  • Designed to provide superior securement and mitigate dislodgement or pistoning of Foley catheters
  • Prevents catheter dislodgement, reducing risk of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), other subsequent patient complications and additional caregiver time for unscheduled restarts and lost time.
  • Eliminates elastic bands compressing leg circulation and sliding down the leg. Reduces the frustration factor often experienced by patients and caregivers attempting to keep catheters securely in place.
]]> Current Guidelines and Recommendations to support use of Guard360®:

  • Wound, Ostomy, Continence Nurse Society (WOCN) recommends stabilizing Foley catheters.
  • CDC states that indwelling catheters should be properly secured after insertion to prevent movement and urethral traction.
  • OSHA recommends securing medical catheters.

CMS Guidelines: October 2008, Medicare will no longer reimburse hospitals for hospital acquired complications such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

  • Hypoallergenic, organic, breathable and latex-free to reduce the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions. Patient friendly adhesive is gentle to fragile skin. Excellent adhesion characteristics with dermal integrity.
  • Products designed to work with full range of regular peripheral IV catheters and wide range of winged peripheral IV catheters.
  • Designed to provide superior securement and mitigate movement, dislodgement or pistoning of peripheral IV catheters.
  • Improve standardization to reduce risk or lost time, restarts and needle sticks.
  • Designed to improve infection control.
]]> Discussion of study results and current guidelines
to support use of Guard360®:

Approximately 40% of peripheral catheters develop complications and require a “restart” (Rickard et al., The Lancet, 2012). The CDC encourages use of a catheter “securement device” to decrease phlebitis, catheter migration and dislodgement for intravascular catheters (CDC Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections, 2011). Catheter “stabilization devices” can reduce the incidence of IV catheter complications by 67% and unscheduled IV catheter restarts by 76% over the use of “tape” (Schears et al., Journal of Infusion Nursing, 2005).
In the INS Position Paper, “catheter stabilization is often inadequate or is not done, posing a risk for several complications such as loss of access, treatment delays, infection and infiltration/extravasation. Documented evidence supports the benefits of using a stabilization device or system to minimize complications” (INS Infusion Standards of Practice, Journal of Infusion Nurse, 2011 & Bausone-Gazda et al., Journal Infusion Nurse, 2010).

  • Simple and effective application, easy to remove and gentle on fragile skin
  • Highly comfortable for difficult areas
  • High moisture vapor barrier enables longer germ free wear time
  • Record patient information efficiently and help monitor healing process using unique “woundtracer” feature
  • For IV catheters and wound care
  • Current offering of 2 3/8” X 3 ¼” size

]]> Our Guard360® Securement Dressing is very patient friendly, easy to use and is very cost effective. The very thin polyurethane film is easy to apply, very comfortable and conformable to difficult areas, and gentle on regular and fragile skin during removal. The dressing has very high vapor barrier features, has excellent water barrier characteristics, which improves infection control for patients for an extended wear time. The unique “woundtracer” feature enables caregivers the opportunity to easily monitor the site and record progress. The dressing can be used for IV catheters and wound care.
