Clinical Evidence > Proven to Reduce Complications

The Unrivaled Evidence You Need To Proceed

Clinical studies comparing the securement of catheter IVs using
tape versus StatLock® Stabilization Devices demonstrate that
StatLock® Stabilization Devices are unrivaled in helping to improve patient outcomes, quality of care and
economic efficiencies.

The results demonstrate that the innovative designs of
StatLock® Stabilization Devices provide superlative results
in promoting healthcare worker safety and patient satisfaction.
The comparative data makes a persuasive case as to why
StatLock® Stabilization Devices are more effective than traditional forms of tape and suture securement to achieve the positive outcomes you seek.

Proven to Reduce Complications

StatLock ® Stabilization Device for Peripheral IV Catheter:



- Lowers the rate of total IV complications by
  approximately 67%
- Decreases IV total complication rate from 48% to 16%
- Decreases phlebitis rate by approximately 80%
- Decreases rate of tape-related skin damage which has been
  documented to be as high as 54%

StatLock ® Stabilization Device for PICC and
Central Line Catheter:

- When a sterile securement device (StatLock ® Stabilization Device)
  has been used routinely, total [PICC] complications and restarts in
  a hospital have decreased by 45%

- When compared to suture securement, StatLock ® Stabilization
  Devices eliminate sharps injuries to health care workers when
  they are securing central catheter lines


StatLock ® Stabilization Device for Arterial Catheter:

- Reduces unscheduled arterial catheter restarts by 49%


StatLock ® Foley Stabilization Device:

- Urinary catheter dislodgment, a common and traumatic
  complication, is usually preventable with a securement device


StatLock ® Neonatal Stabilization Device:

- Tape doesn’t adhere well to the plastic cannula; in 74% of tape
  specimens tested in one hospital, pathenogenic bacteria contaminated
  the tape


StatLock ® Epidural Stabilization Device:

- Designed to prevent epidural catheter migration, disconnection
  and/or dislodgement which could interrupt anesthesia
