Current Situation
- Over 300 million peripheral intravenous catheters (PIV) are used yearly in the United States
- Over 70% of all hospital admissions have a peripheral intravenous device (PIV) inserted
- The failure rate of PIVs is up to 69%, dislodgement, phlebitis, infiltrationwhich can be due to catheter or infection
- There are many types of catheters IVs must be changed every 3-4 days, even earlier if failure occurs
The Challenges
- Infusion site placement and management can vary by care setting
- Clinicians use tape and bandages in a variety of ways to attempt to fasten the infusion tubing and stabilize the IV catheter
- Certain medications cannot be administered through IV tubing
- This variability can lead to difficulty with IV site access, patient discomfort, catheter disruption, site failure and wasted medical time
The Solution
- SureSet creates a streamlined step-by-step standard system to reliably stabilize the IV catheter hub and organize the infusion tubing
- SureSet allows IV tubing and catheter to be easily accessed and managed
- SureSet’s protective dressing over the IV catheter allows for single step removal and eliminates discomfort from use and removal of excessive adhesive tape
The Value

- Provides maximum comfort
- Improved quality of care with ease of use
For Clinicians
- Enables a safer, more standard placement process for IV securement
- Less variability reduces the margin for error
- Easy application and removal
- Saves time and creates a more efficient clinical process
