Ageln Cannula Fixator - Pack of 100

A cannula fixator is a medical device used to secure and stabilize a cannula or intravenous (IV) line in place on a patient's body. Cannulas are thin, flexible tubes that are inserted into a patient's veins or arteries to administer fluids, medications, or to draw blood. They are commonly used in healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and during medical procedures.

Benefits:

Secure and Stable Placement: Cannula fixators help ensure the secure and stable placement of medical tubing. By providing a reliable anchoring system, they prevent accidental dislodgment or movement of the cannula, reducing the risk of complications and the need for frequent adjustments.

Reduced Trauma and Discomfort: The use of cannula fixators minimizes trauma to the insertion site. The securement device supports the tubing without applying excessive pressure or causing irritation to the skin, enhancing patient comfort and reducing the likelihood of complications, such as phlebitis or skin breakdown.

Ease of Monitoring: Transparent or semitransparent cannula fixators allow for easy visualization of the insertion site. This enables healthcare professionals to monitor the condition of the skin, assess for signs of infection, and observe the patency of the tubing without the need to remove or disturb the dressing.

Promotes Infection Control: Cannula fixators create a barrier that helps protect the insertion site from external contaminants, reducing the risk of infection. Many fixators are designed to be breathable, allowing air circulation while maintaining a protective barrier, contributing to optimal infection control measures.
