REDpoint’s StedLine - IV Sleeve’s Advantages
|
![]() |
REDpoint’s StedLine - IV Sleeve has eliminated the cumbersome design used by the competition for skin prep, adhesives and the need for multiple devices to match each line-set’s manufacture’s specifications with our universal, adhesive-free design.
|
Studies show that IVs fail as a result of pulls and line movement causing dislodgments, infiltration (photo), oscillation, migration, extravasations and phlebitis. These failures have far reaching effects on all involved. |

The Challenge
Patients:
-
NO caregiver wants to tell a patient they must restart their IV.
-
Failures can increase exposure to blood stream infection
-
34% of patients experience skin tears and/or reaction to tapes and adhesives
-
Stabilizing the catheter with tape is ineffective
Caregivers:
-
Clinicians have never been busier as patient loads and workloads increase
-
Acute care nurses spend an average of 43 minutes each shift responding to IV failures
-
Risk of accidental needle sticks to the caregiver increases by 45.8% each time a new catheter is inserted
-
Frustration mounts as challenges increase as clinicians work to meet the needs of the patient
Institutions:
-
Everyone is worried about the rising cost of health care
-
Inefficient utilization of staff time
-
Increased risk of possible litigation
-
Increased cost due to infections
-
Institutional value is not captured as the result of reinsertion of IVs
