**Devices with tubes secured after 72 hours.

Skin integrity:

"

Skin is the body’s first line of defence, 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 Competitor Stabilisation Device after 3 days of wear (P=0.037).

** 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 Tube Securement Device was 13 seconds compared to 126 seconds for Competitor Stabilisation Device t;.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 Tube Securement Device compared to the Competitor Stabilisation Device.
