Integrated Securement Solutions: SorbaView SHIELD®

In the fast-paced environment of healthcare facilities, ensuring patient safety while streamlining clinical workflows is crucial. One area where this balance is important is vascular access, with procedures prone to risks such as catheter dislodgement, infection, and complications.

That’s where SorbaView SHIELD^® comes in - a next-generation integrated securement dressing that helps you protect the insertion site and reduce complications. This one-step securement system prevents catheter movement and dislodgement while forming a strong barrier that safeguards the insertion site from viral and bacterial contaminants.

Enhanced Stabilisation

A key feature of the SorbaView SHIELD is its catheter stabilisation capability. It’s designed to withstand forceful tugging or accidental movement. This secure hold significantly lowers the risk of catheter-related complications, including phlebitis - an inflammation of the vein - or extravasation, where fluid leaks into surrounding tissues.

The SorbaView SHIELD works to maintain the catheter position, ensuring the integrity of the insertion site throughout its use, even during high-intensity patient care situations.

Comprehensive Protection

Infection prevention is a top priority in any healthcare setting, particularly in vascular access, where the risk of contamination is ever-present. SorbaView SHIELD’s breathable, multi-layer dressing forms an occlusive barrier, protecting against external contaminants, while maintaining moisture control and skin integrity. This helps to minimise irritation and other skin-related complications.

Versatility Across Applications

Available in multiple sizes for various vascular access sites, making it suitable and comfortable for patients of all ages, from paediatric patients to adult, ensuring reliable and consistent securement across clinical environments. It’s an all-in-one solution that reduces the need for extra securement devices, helping streamline protocols and lower overall supply costs.

Streamlined Clinical Protocols

Studies show that integrated securement devices, like SorbaView SHIELD, significantly decrease catheter failure rates, improving both clinical outcomes and patient experiences.¹

The ultimate goal of any medical product is to improve patient care. The Centurion SorbaView SHIELD is a one-step catheter securement system that marries defensive features together; manufactured stabilisation that prevents catheter movement and dislodgement while creating an incredibly strong barrier that protects the insertion site.

By preventing catheter dislodgement, reducing the risk of infection, and maintaining the comfort of the insertion site, it allows healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most: delivering quality care to their patients. With SorbaView SHIELD, healthcare professionals can deliver enhanced care while ensuring greater patient comfort and reducing the incidence of catheter-related complications.
