The largest study of patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) utilizing a subcutaneous anchoring securement system (SASS) ever conducted shows that using subcutaneous anchors to secure catheters is more effective than using adhesive securement devices (ASD).
A new study on securement for central vascular access devices (CVAD) suggests that subcutaneous anchor securement systems (SASS) are shown to be more effective at keeping central catheters in place, compared to either suture-based or adhesive device-based securement methods, according to Eloquest Healthcare, Inc., a privately held medical device company.
