Recognition, context, and distinction

01

What am I looking at?

Visual recognition

Adhesive skin-mounted securement platform that grips or clips the external catheter or tubing without a fixation suture.

02

What does it do, and where will I see it?

Use & procedural context

Used to stabilize PICCs, drains, nephrostomy or biliary catheters, urinary catheters, and other external devices while reducing traction at the insertion site.

03

What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?

Key distinctions

Sutureless securement devices stabilize an external catheter by adhesive straps or molded retainers instead of fixation sutures; Grip-Lok®-type and StatLock®-type systems use different attachment designs.
