NEW IV/PICC LINE HOLDER

As a result of a very successful Symposium on Advanced Wound Care exhibit this past week and the very positive reception to the new IV/PICC line holder by the attendees, Tapeless Medical will start manufacturing the product for use immediately and should have it available for purchase within a few weeks. The unique aspects of this washable and reusable holder, are that it helps to secure the IV or PICC line while allowing for visualization of the insertion site and also the securement of the tubing. The coiled, secured tubing and IV/PICC line is then covered with a pull down flap that covers and protects the whole unit. Healthcare providers immediately commented on how that would aid in keeping patients from "picking and pulling" on the tubing and would also minimize the possibility that the tubing would get accidentally caught on something, causing the PICC line to be pulled out.
Watch for the pictures and descriptions of this NEW product on the website, www.tapelessmedical.com within the week.
