SorbaView SHIELD
The patented SorbaView® SHIELD is a one-step catheter
securement system that combines the features and benefits of a
SorbaView® Dressing with SHIELD Technology.
SorbaView Dressings set the standard of
excellence in catheter site management. They go on easier and wear
longer than other dressings - SorbaView wicks away excess moisture
and "breathes" like skin, while protecting patients by keeping out
bacteria.
SHIELD Technology guards the catheter from aggressive movements
and eliminates the need for a secondary securement device. With the
addition of SHIELD Technology, dressings stay on and catheters stay
put. By keeping the catheter in place, the risk of complications
such as dislodgement are dramatically reduced.
Combined together, SorbaView SHIELD offers all the features and
benefits that have made SorbaView the leader in catheter dressings,
with the added strength and stabilization of our patented Shield
Technology. Marrying these defensive features together results in
an unsurpassed level of catheter stabilization and securement.

part of the normal dressing procedure - no extra steps needed
- Easy to apply - won't stick to itself during application
- Establishes a standard of care and eliminates inconsistent
methods of securement
- Provides proven bacterial protection, lowering the risk of
contracting a hospital-acquired infection (HAI)
- Using one product instead of two lowers costs
- Prevents catheter movement and dislodgement
- Latex free, non-sensitizing adhesive
- Available in multiple sizes to fit any vascular access
site
BENEFITS FOR PERIPHERAL IV SITES:
- IV lines stay put, even when patients are transferred between
hospital departments, reducing the number of unscheduled
restarts
- Prevents catheter movement, so the risk of an IV complication -
such as dislodgement, phlebitis, thrombosis or infiltration - is
dramatically decrease
BENEFITS FOR CENTRAL LINES:
- 7-day wear time means fewer dressing changes and reduced labor
costs for central lines
- Wear time of 7 days meets the demands of hospital protocols for
central lines
- Provides proven barrier against bacteria and contaminants,
lowering the risk of Central Line Blood Stream Infections
