Dislodgement in medical tubing is an ongoing problem even when external stabilization devices are in use. Linear Health Sciences’ core focus is evaluating unwanted or accidental dislodgement in medical tubing and working to identify possible solutions.
“We’re a medtech startup focused on bringing tension based Safety Release Valves to medical devices.”
Largest IV DIslodgement study ever conducted
A study published in J-AVA, conducted by Nancy Moureau, PhD, RN, CRNI, CPUI, VA-BC, and funded by Linear HealthSciences.
1,561 Clinicians surveyed
Over 95% of clinicians surveyed agreed that IV dislodgements continue to pose significant safety risks for patients and hospitals.
PIV, PICC, Midline, & Central Line risks
Over 2/3 of clinicians “often” see dislodgement occurring, and say that 1/2 of catheters still dislodge even with extra securement.
