Amazing Securement Device - Try this First!
If you are looking for a securement device for any type of medical tubing situation, port-a-cath, PICC line, central line, urinary catheter, dialysis sets, feeding tubes and for any age category of patient I recommend getting this device first.  This comes from some time of buying device after device for tubing securement with many different types of lines and while some worked for some types of lines but not others or did not work with any, or did not hold well enough or if they held it was because the adhesive was very irritating finding this device was amazing  and I wish I had known about it first as it would have saved weeks of hunting, saved a great deal of money spent on poor devices that did not do what was needed and mad things way more comfortable for the patient and a great deal safer without risk of pulling a line loose.<br /><br />My daughter has both a port-a-cath and a feeding tube, and also has had a PICC line and a central line in months prior,  and one of the greatest difficulties we have had is finding a securement device that works well with for her and will hold some of the tubing and liens she has that are not easy to secure such as her feeding tube.  The ones both supplied by the hospital and by her home health care are probably good for a standard set up with a child's feeding tube, as that is what they usually deal with but, with an adult it did not secure well and while one area would hold well it was too loose or tight in the other.  This device with the separate strips that can be adjusted for the parts it needs to secure is absolutely an amazing answer to what was a very frustrating problem we had.  And because of the fact that it's versatile in how it can hold the tubing and/or connector it can be placed in slightly different areas so that its not a constant irritant in one spot.  It was also listed as hypoallergenic and my daughter has many problems with adhesives and allergies to them,  and this one hasn't caused any problems even after 24 hours of use.  And given the prices we have paid for various securement devices that did not work anywhere near as well the price point was excellent.<br /><br />I really appreciated the seller was detailed in showing how their device worked in on their sale page and the different options for different types of tubing.  Since it is not irritating her as other devices have, and her port securement device does, we will also be switching to use this device for her porta-a-cath.  Obviously this will be something I will be re-buying on a regular basis.  I was very happy to have finally found this listed, as well as the images demonstrating how it worked when search Amazon for a solution.  I really cannot stress to a parent or caregiver how this really should be the first device you try because it's so versatile and you have so many ways of configuring it to work well, even if you later settle on a device made specifically for the tubing you have, using this device first is really going to show you what configuration you need in a device to hold tubes properly<br /><br />The seller shipped it quickly and promptly and it actually arrived well before the date stated it would arrive when I ordered.
