“…It is acknowledged that the dressing must be sterile, easy to apply (and remove), ensure secure fixation of the device, enable visualization of the insertion site and prevent moisture building beneath the dressing (Kiernan, 1997). Many of the polyurethane intravenous dressings supplied by different manufacturers have a number of similarities (Campbell and Carrington, 1999). At a basic level these similarities include sterility, transparency and it usually extends to the inclusion of fixation and date strips.…”

“…With these, common complications occur in up to 69% of all IV catheters due to dislodgement, phlebitis, or catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Patient movement and frequent dressing changes can cause catheter hub movement, sometimes resulting in dislodgement, while movement of the catheter tube in the insertion site can irritate the vessel wall causing phlebitis, both of which require new catheter placement. [7][8][9][10][11] In order to prevent these complications, the development and use of securement techniques that can not only prevent catheter movement but also provide a microbial barrier at the insertion site is imperative.…”

“…Reducing the frequency of complications associated with IV catheters can reduce costs due to premature catheter failure, extending hospital stays. 1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] One such novel device that prevents the migration of microbial organisms, provides securement strength, and provides a hemostatic effect is cyanoacrylate. Cyanoacrylate has been researched to provide efficient and secure wound closure while protecting a wound from microbial migration, and these benefits are now being innovated for use in IV catheter securement.…”
