Stabilization Devices

• The StatLock® Epidural Stabilization Device for Arrow* catheters is custom crafted to secure ARROW* International's FlexTip* and StimuCath* epidural catheters.
• It features an anterior anchor pad to prevent disconnection of the catheter from the SnapLock* connector (blue and black), and a posterior (exit site) crescent pad designed to prevent catheter migration.
• The central retainer on the StatLock® Epidural Stabilization Device provides patented "roll-in, roll-out" security to assure uninterrupted performance of the SnapLock* connector.
• The StatLock® Epidural Stabilization Device posterior, crescent, anchor pad is designed to reduce catheter migration and dislodgment by securing at the insertion site.
• Together, these two StatLock® Stabilization Device anchor pads and the compatible StatLock® Stabilization Device extension set (included) offer ARROW* FlexTip* customers state-of-the-art catheter stabilization for their anesthesia lines.

Features

StatLock® Stabilization Devices are a more effective alternative to tape in helping improve clinical outcomes, quality of care and economic efficiencies. The StatLock® Epidural Stabilization Device for ARROW* catheters includes a unique "roll in/roll out" retainer specifically designed for ARROW* International's SnapLock adapter for FlexTip* and StimuCath* catheters.

Prescriptive Information

INDICATIONS FOR USE: The StatLock® stabilization device is compatible for medical tubes and catheters.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Known tape or adhesive allergies. Known sensitivity to benzoin. (Zinc Oxide PICC Neonatal Universal)

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use the StatLock® stabilization device where loss of adherence could occur, such as with a confused patient, unattended access device, diaphoretic or non-adherent skin, or when the access device is not monitored daily.
• Observe universal blood and body fluid precautions and infection control procedures, during the StatLock® stabilization device application and removal.
• Suture the StatLock® stabilization device pad to skin if necessary or deemed necessary.
• Avoid the StatLock® stabilization device contact with alcohol or acetone, both can weaken bonding of components and the StatLock® stabilization device pad adherence.
• Minimize catheter manipulation during StatLock® stabilization device application and removal.
• Remove oil and moisturizer from targeted skin area.
• The StatLock® stabilization device pad adherence and catheter/tube position should be routinely inspected.
• Orient the StatLock® stabilization device so arrows point toward the catheter tip.
• The StatLock® stabilization device should be replaced every 7 days.
• A StatLock® stabilization device luer-lock connector must be used to secure venous and arterial catheters.
• Always apply the adhesive strip to central venous and arterial catheters at or near the insertion site when using a StatLock® stabilization device.
• This is a single use device. Reuse/and or repackaging may create a risk of patient or user infection, compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or lead to injury, illness or death of the patent.
• Do not re-sterilize. The sterility of the single use device is not guaranteed following re-sterilization because of an indeterminable degree of potential pyrogenic or microbial contamination which may lead to infection complications. Re-sterilization may compromise the structural integrity, essential material and/or design characteristics and may lead to an unpredictable loss of functionality and/or device failure.
• Special Patient Population
  • Do not use alcohol or acetone containing products on pre-term infants

Clinical Outcomes

The Unrivaled Evidence You Need To Proceed

Clinical studies comparing the stabilization of catheter IVs using tape versus StatLock® stabilization devices demonstrate
that StatLock® stabilization devices are unrivaled in helping to improve patient outcomes, quality of care and economic efficiencies. ^5,2,11

The results demonstrate that the innovative designs of StatLock® stabilization devices provide superlative results in promoting healthcare worker safety and patient satisfaction. The comparative data makes a persuasive case as to why StatLock® stabilization devices are more effective than traditional forms of tape and suture stabilization to achieve the positive outcomes
you seek.

Proven to Reduce Complications

StatLock® stabilization device for Peripheral IV Catheter:

• Lowers the rate of total IV complications by approximately 67% ⁵
• Decreases IV total complication rate from 48% to 16% ⁵
• Decreases phlebitis rate by approximately 80% ⁵
• Decreases rate of tape-related skin damage which has been documented to be as high as 54% ^2,11

StatLock® stabilization device for PICC and Central Line Catheter:

• When a sterile securement device (StatLock® stabilization device) has been used routinely, total PICC complications and restarts in a hospital have decreased by 45% ²
• When compared to suture stabilization, StatLock® Stabilization Devices eliminate sharps injuries to health care workers when they are securing central catheter lines ^{29,30,15 2,11}

StatLock® stabilization device for Arterial Catheter:

• Reduces unscheduled arterial catheter restarts by 49% ¹²

StatLock® Neonatal stabilization device:

• Tape doesn't adhere well to the plastic cannula; in 74% of tape specimens tested in one hospital, pathenogenic bacteria contaminated the tape ¹³

StatLock® Epidural stabilization device:

• Designed to prevent epidural catheter migration, disconnection and/or dislodgement which could interrupt anesthesia
