About The IV Carelock
Why Choose The IV Carelock?
The IV CareLock is a cost-effective solution for preventing illicit drug use through IV catheters placed in the hospital or outpatient setting.
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.
The ‘lock & key’ design makes the device easy to use for medical professionals while preventing patient access to IV catheters placed in the hospital or outpatient setting.

overdose are > $700 million annually3.
- These costs do not include legal costs from a seminal event where a patient self injected while in hospital care. 3
The Problem

street drugs while still under hospital care

a major ER in Jacksonville experienced two
lethal overdoses on the bathroom floor.
