The SecurAcath device is a subcutaneous catheter
securement system which can be placed alongside indwelling
catheters in order to prevent migration. The device
incorporates a small blunt anchor which is placed under
the skin during catheter placement and can remain in situ
for the duration of the catheter dwell time eliminating the
need for any adhesive dressings or sutures’ (Hughes, 2014: 1).
IV devices requiring sutures and adhesive often have many
additional costs not immediately realised such as catheter
dislodgement, migration, line repositioning, maintenance
time, infections and needlestick complications (Cordovani
and Cooper, 2013).
