The IV Carelock Story
Responding to the challenges surrounding safety and appropriate care for Patients Who Inject Drugs
The very placement of Vascular Access Devices creates a temptation for Patients who inject drugs (PWIDs) to self-inject illicit drugs through these devices as they may be experiencing elevated withdrawal symptoms or cravings during their hospital or outpatient treatment.
Efforts to mitigate the problem have focused on restricting the opioid prescription supply, but this does not address the needs of PWIDs requiring intravenous therapy.
Providers describe this problem using the acronym SIVAD or Self Injection of non-prescribed-substances into Vascular Access Devices. The SIVAD Temptation leaves PWIDs at significantly greater risk of bloodstream infections, line infections, bacteremia, endocarditis, overdose, and death.
The IV Carelock helps mitigate SIVAD risk within inpatient and outpatient facilities by securing the intravenous access site while retaining the caregiver’s ability to infuse while the device is in use.
