The Device
PICC Guard is the only patient-safety device with tamper-evident technology for PICC lines. This prevents unwarranted access of intravenous lines for high-risk patients.
This breakthrough technology is the first patented medical device to receive FDA 510(k) clearance as a tamper-resistant catheter access cover.
Who is it for?
PICC Guard is for any patient who is at risk for tampering with their PICC line. Patients to benefits from PICC Guard include:
IV Drug Use (IVDU)
Patients with a history of IVDU have high infection rates and are at risk to access their intravenous lines.
Psychiatric Patients
Adverse outcomes can be lessened among patients who may lack insight regarding their medical devices.
Incarcerated Patients
Patients in jail or prison may attempt to access their lines. PICC Guards can improve treatment outcomes in this patient population.
Pediatric Patients
Pediatric patients may tamper with venous access lines accidentally. PICC Guard placement over the port may decrease infection rates or air emboli.
