Arterial Dressing

Amdel Medical’s arterial fixation device is an award-winning cannula dressing designed by practitioners to address the risks associated with arterial cannulas and arterial catheters. This large polyethylene adhesive pad with windows is designed to be applied over an arterial catheter line to securely hold it in place.

Arterial catheters are one of the most common monitoring tools available in Intensive Therapy Units (ITUs) and are also widely used in theatre, High Dependency Units (HDUs), and coronary care units. However, as an invasive device, it has the potential to cause many serious complications such as haemorrhage, necrosis, and infection. This innovative fixation device solves these problems and makes the AC procedure monitoring more intuitive for the practitioner, helping to reduce clinical risk.

The device has stronger adhesion to the skin, due to its large contact area and higher-strength adhesive, in order to reduce the chance of the line being accidentally removed. In accordance with existing colour coding systems for arterial equipment, it also clearly marked as an arterial line in red to indicate the potential risks.
