Modern standards of medical care require frequent catheterization. This is a procedure that involves the installation of catheters and cannulas into the lumen of a vessel or the cavity of the human body. The procedure is necessary to repeatedly administer medications to the patient.
They are also needed to create conditions to ensure a regular outflow of biological fluids. For successful catheterization, it is important to achieve immobility of such devices. It is necessary to exclude mechanical damage to blood vessels and prevent the development of thrombophlebitis. For this purpose, specialized patches are used to fix catheters.
Specialized tools designed for medical fixation are now widely used in surgical, traumatology departments and intensive care units. Fixing patches for catheterization have the following characteristics:
The adhesive base of the dressing quickly peels off without injuring the skin at the site of catheterization and is easily removed.
A fixing patch-bandage with the presence of an absorbent pad having a cut in the middle is used to attach permanent and intravenous catheters, cannulas and other medical devices to the skin. This product can be used by patients with normal or sensitive skin.
The patch fixing the catheters is made on a non-woven basis. It has perforations. This material is durable, soft and breathable. There is no maceration of the skin under it. The bandage is removed easily and painlessly, leaving no traces on the skin. It holds well on surfaces, ensuring a tight fit to the wound.
The catheter patch has a special incision for the needle. Thanks to this design, the bandage is applied easily and quickly. During operation, the cannula or catheter will never fall off. An absorbent pad is reinforced on the basis of the product. Each the patch is packed in an individual sterile bag.
