How Does The IV Carelock Work?
Designed With Care & Patient In-Mind
The Opioid Epidemic has put hospital systems under increasing strain as they struggle to provide safe and effective care for Patients Who Inject Drugs (PWID). Overdose deaths related to Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) have skyrocketed, leading to higher costs for ED and inpatient visits for those with an OUD diagnosis. The total cost of OUD to U.S. hospitals is estimated to be $95.43 billion annually. Efforts to address the issue have centered on limiting opioid prescriptions, but the temptation for PWID to self-inject drugs through Vascular Access Devices (VAD) remains a significant problem, leading to serious infections and other complications.
The IV CareLock has provides a new solution to this challenge, offering a way to secure VADs, prevent illicit drug use & self-injection, reducing healthcare costs and improving patient safety.
Easy To Use
With our lock and key design, you simply place your catheter in the device, administer care, then lock it with the designated key – it’s that easy! Designed to function in the PIV, PICC Line, and Central Line Applications, the IV CareLock secures the intravenous access site while retaining the caregiver’s ability to infuse while the device is in use.
Safe and Secure Tamper Prevention
The innovative IV Carelock device features six durable lock posts that securely lock the device and hold your IV in place, providing peace of mind and ensuring that patients cannot access or tamper with the IV catheter.
Why just detect when you can Protect?
Tamper protection with the IV Carelock device is much more effective than a detection sticker.
Tamper Detection products have to be
checked regularly for tampering.
Tamper Protection literally prevents tampering, taking the worry out of needing to leave patients unsupervised.
