Intensive Care Physicians

Intensive Care

 Critical care physicians can use CaTHSTiX to secure catheters quickly—with or without sutures. Even when sutures are applied, the catheter can be repositioned by you or your team without cutting the suture, saving valuable time and reducing unnecessary steps in the ICU. Fully compatible with any catheter brand, CaTHSTiX allows you to customize your securement approach while maintaining flexibility and control in the high-acuity ICU environment. 

CaTHSTiX for Indwelling Catheters: No-Cut Repositioning

Sutured Fixation

 Repositioning requires suture removal. 

CaTHSTiX

 Reposition freely, with or without sutures—no cutting needed. 

Sutureless Vascular Access Securement

  

  

  • Supported by clinical guidelines (CDC; Infusion Nurses Society) recommending sutureless securement to reduce infection and complications 
  • Aligns with best practices for minimizing catheter movement and dislodgement 
  • Eliminates need for sutures, reducing risk of needlestick injuries 
  • Low-profile design minimizes tissue disruption and supports patient comfort 
  • Helps reduce complications such as phlebitis, infiltration, and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs)

Stabilization & Procedural Efficiency

  

  • Minimizes catheter micro-movement at the insertion site 
  • Improves catheter stability and consistency of access 
  • Hands-free securement enhances control during procedures 
  • Reduces need for repositioning and vessel trauma

Operational Benefits

 

  • Faster procedures: Less repositioning and sutures optional
  • Less rework: Reposition without cutting/replacing sutures 
  • Better ergonomics: Frees hands for precision and control 
  • Reduced radiation exposure: Shorter time in fluoroscopy field 
  • Improved safety: Eliminates sharps, lowering needlestick risk

Value Summary

  

  • Supports reduced complications and infections 
  • Improves workflow efficiency and clinician experience 
  • Contributes to lower total cost of care
