As any Nurse or Phlebotomist will attest, inserting and keeping an IV in an elderly patient can be a difficult task. Whether the patient is non compliant or unable to keep the IV in place due to complications from dementia, moving around can cause the IV to pull or dislodge, creating pain, discomfort, and irritation for both patient and caregiver alike. In most cases, to ensure the IV stays in place, the patient’s hand will need to be wrapped with a large amount of wrap tape which can be traumatic to remove and can even cause injury or allergic reaction to the adhesive. The IV Glove is a genius solution that comfortably keeps the IV in place and is easy to view thanks to a transparent curved dome.
The IV Glove is a single-use and disposable adhesive-free IV securing system. It uses an FDA-registered anti-bacterial anti-microbial silicone glove that easily attaches to the patient’s hand. It’s patented S-Clip mechanism secures the tube of the IV preventing movement. The transparent protective shield allows medical personnel to inspect the IV without disruption.
It is significantly more cost-efficient than other short-term peripheral IV replacements. Its passive and non-invasive system protects from accidental impacts and tampering reducing the risk of being accidentally dislodged.
