Unintentional detachment of vascular catheters is a common occurrence, leading to their slipping out of the body. This disrupts the delivery of vital drugs and infusions, compromising the success of therapy and potentially causing serious complications. Moreover, when using tissue-damaging drugs, such as certain chemotherapy medications, there is a risk of severe damage to the surrounding tissues, sometimes even necessitating complex surgical interventions like amputations.

Conventional measures for fixing vascular catheters, such as plasters, often fall short in providing adequate security. Suturing catheters, while more reliable, is resource-intensive and uncomfortable for awake patients, despite the use of local anesthesia. Additionally, caregivers face the risk of needlestick injuries during the process.

Ebnet Medical has submitted patent applications for components for reliable fixation of vascular catheters to the skin to significantly increase patient and caregiver safety.

Currently under development, not yet cleared for commercial distribution. For multiple future benefits and highly relevant study endpoints. A positive correlation between technical features and beneficial outcomes has to be shown.
