New SubQ CVC Securement device get FDA approval

Hopefully by now most institutions are not using sutures on there more intermediate to long term devices.. .if a suture must be used ..... go for nylon as it has a lower risk for infection or stitch abscess than nylon. personally if used properly and changed every 7 days and prn if compromised catheter securement devices like the stat loc are awesome. They stabilize that catheter so well it cannot migrate in or out.especially in conjunction with the prope ruse of sterile strips and TSM dressing. This device looks promising but it might take a few days for skin to grow around it,much like a dacron cuff. In my experience if patients wan to get something out...they will so I am not certain of the benefit over a topical securment device as long as that device is changed on time and not just left past 7 days to grow yuck under it. I imagine you would also have to buy that particular brand of catheter as well.
