The 3M™ Tube Securement Device provides reliable and strong securement for various medical tubes, including urinary catheters, surgical drains, and IVs, keeping them in place for up to four days. Designed with patient comfort and skin protection in mind, it minimizes the risk of pressure injuries by eliminating hard plastic components and offering a unique shape that reduces contact between the tube and skin. This device not only delivers powerful securement but also ensures gentle removal, helping to prevent skin damage and maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier. Its easy-to-use application and removal process make it suitable for use in a variety of clinical settings, standardizing securement techniques while reducing the risk of complications associated with traditional devices.

In a comparative study, the 3M™ Tube Securement Device demonstrated superior performance compared to the StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device. It offered a higher percentage of tube retention after 72 hours, significantly faster removal times (averaging 13 seconds compared to 126 seconds), and did not require any removal agents, unlike its competitor, which needed an average of 12 alcohol wipes. Additionally, the device had a 63% lower impact on the skin's barrier function, highlighting its gentle nature while still providing dependable securement. These results underline its effectiveness in reducing overall care costs and improving patient outcomes through fewer reapplications and minimized skin damage.
