Catheter Stabilization with CaTHSTiX
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

CaTHSTiX Reduces Laboratory Workload and Radiation Exposure
Focus on other critical tasks—handle balloons and guidewires, administer contrast, and perform injections—without having to manually hold the catheter.
Kusmo Academy- Surgery
Watch our 2–3 minute training videos designed for surgeons. These demonstrations show CaTHSTiX in both sutured and suture-less workflows, including the ability to reposition the line without cutting sutures, highlight its reliability in bloody fields, and provide clear setup tips for efficient line placement in the surgical theatre.
