Wear time

Dependability and length of wear are important in choosing the right device. The 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 three 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 StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device (P<.0001).* *As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after three days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU. **On average, for the 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 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.
