Ben-Guard - Innovative Catheter Securement for Children

Today, millions of children in the U.S. require central venous catheters (CVCs) and other tubing devices—i.e. G/J-tubing, Ostomy, PEG, Nasogastric, etc.—for a variety of serious medical conditions and illnesses. The complication rate for some devices can be as high as 40% in certain patient populations. These complications disrupt necessary treatments, are routinely emergent and can be life-threatening. Such setbacks greatly impact the safety of the child, while costing healthcare systems and families tens of millions of dollars a year.

“They are wonderfully made, cool and comfortable to wear and a reliable way to secure the central line during an infusion, that helps protect accidental tugs and pulls.”
