Introduction
Welcome to Phoenix Medical Services, your trusted provider of top-quality medical products and solutions. In this article, we will delve into the world of catheter securement and provide you with a comprehensive comparison of various securement options to help you make informed decisions for your patients' well-being.
The Importance of Catheter Securement
Catheter securement plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and comfort of patients requiring catheterization. Poorly secured catheters can lead to accidental dislodgment, catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), skin irritations, and other complications.
At Phoenix Medical Services, we understand the significance of securement and have curated a range of securement options that combine innovative design, ease of use, and patient-friendly features.
Types of Securements

Elastic wrap securements are a popular choice due to their flexibility and adaptability to different body shapes and sizes. Our Elastic Wrap Securements provide a secure yet comfortable fit, ensuring the catheter stays in place while minimizing skin irritation risk.
PICC Securements
PICC securements are specifically designed for peripherally inserted central catheters. Our PICC Securements offer a secure, adjustable, and easy-to-use solution that minimizes catheter movement during patient mobility, reducing the risk of complications such as catheter dislodgment and accidental infection.
Tape and Adhesive Securements
Tape and adhesive securements provide a reliable and cost-effective option for catheter securement. Our Tape and Adhesive Securements are designed with strong adhesion to prevent catheter movement and maintain stability. Their hypoallergenic properties ensure patient comfort and minimize skin-related complications.
