The 3M™ Tube Securement Device delivers strong securement and skin performance in an easy-to-use solution. It minimizes the damage to skin and is designed to support pressure injury prevention practices for a variety of medical tube and catheter applications. With no hard plastic components to cause pressure, the securement device’s unique shape minimizes contact between skin and tube.
3M™ Tube Securement Device
Designed to help reduce pressure injury risk.
-
Select the small device (1500U) to secure 6-12 Fr medical tubes and catheters.
-
Select the large device (1501U) to secure 12-24 Fr medical tubes and catheters.
When it comes to tube securement selection, there are a variety of factors to keep in mind, including securement performance, skin protection and clinician ease of use.
Consider the results of this comparative study on urinary catheter securement: A comparison of the 3M™ Tube Securement Device to the StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device.2
-
Wear time:Dependability and length of wear are important in choosing the right device. The 3M™ Tube Securement Device had a statistically higher percentage of devices with the tube in place after a 72-hour wear than StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device.*
*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after 3 days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU. **Devices with tubes secured after 72 hours.
-
Skin integrity:Skin is the body’s first line of defense, so it is important to protect it. Consider this comparison of the impact on the skin’s barrier function (measured by average change in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) from pre-treatment).*
*Than StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device after 3 days of wear (P=0.037).
**3M™ Tube Securement Device’s impact on the skin’s barrier function (median TEWL change from baseline) was 63% less.
-
Removal time:Efficient removal is critical when clinician time is limited. The average removal time for 3M™ Tube Securement Device was 13 seconds compared to 126 seconds for StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device (P<.0001).*
*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after 3 days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU.
**On average, for the 3M™ Tube Securement Device compared to the StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device
-
Wipes for removal:Extra supplies can add time and cost to a procedure. On average, the StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device required 12 alcohol wipes for removal, while the 3M™ Tube Securement Device does not require a removal agent.*
*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after 3 days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU.
**Average number of wipes used for removal.
