FIXCAN USAGES
- Securement of IV Cannulas: Cannula fixators are primarily used to securely hold IV cannulas or catheters in position once they have been inserted into a patient’s vein. This prevents accidental dislodgment or movement of the cannula, which could lead to complications such as infiltration, extravasation, or interruption of IV therapy.
- Minimization of Discomfort: Properly securing the cannula with a fixator helps minimize discomfort for the patient by reducing the likelihood of the cannula shifting or pulling on the vein. This can improve patient comfort during infusion therapy, blood transfusions, or other medical procedures requiring IV access.
