The Importance of Catheter Securement
Catheter securement plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and comfort of patients requiring catheterization. Poorly secured catheters can lead to accidental dislodgment, catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), skin irritations, and other complications.
At Phoenix Medical Services, we understand the significance of securement and have curated a range of securement options that combine innovative design, ease of use, and patient-friendly features.

PICC securements are specifically designed for peripherally inserted central catheters. Our PICC Securements offer a secure, adjustable, and easy-to-use solution that minimizes catheter movement during patient mobility, reducing the risk of complications such as catheter dislodgment and accidental infection.
