PICC
Pink PICC line wrist bands
The PICC wrist bands have limited information on them: the type of catheter, length and number of lumens. The IV Team sees the pink bracelets as a better identifier of patients with PICC lines and will help prevent blood pressures and blood draws from being done on that extremity.
PICC Line Dressing Change
with BIOPATCH®
To provide ongoing suppression of bacterial growth on the area of the skin around an intravascular catheter insertion site, helping to reduce the risk of bacteria entering the blood stream causing an infection.

StatLock PICC Plus
Securement Device
StatLocks are used routinely on PICCs and Midlines. They are used to preserve the integrity of the access device, reduce risk of infection, minimize catheter movement at the hub (telescoping), and prevent catheter dislodgment and loss of access.
