Wrap the tape around the catheter (finger demonstration) for one week to create a reverse effect. Fix the tape to the skin or a transparent dressing to create a side effect. The advantage of this method is that the tube is tightly fixed to the adhesive tape, the catheter does not directly contact the skin, and the adhesive tape fixed to the skin has a large area and a flat adhesive surface, which makes the fixation firm and not easy to fall off. This method can effectively prevent problems such as catheter slippage and infection, and improve patient comfort and safety. How to choose the right fixation method for medical devices:
Characteristics of the device: Different medical devices may have different characteristics and needs for use, for example, some devices may require special fixation methods to ensure that they work properly.
Using environment: When choosing the fixation method, you also need to consider the environment in which the device will be used, for example, whether it needs to be used in a humid environment, whether it needs to be waterproof and so on.
User's needs: Users may have their own preferences and needs, for example, may prefer a fixing method that is easy to install and remove.
Costs: The selection of the fixing method also needs to take into account the cost factor, including the cost of the initial purchase, as well as later maintenance and replacement costs.
Regulatory requirements: In some cases, regulations may impose specific requirements on how a medical device should be secured.
