Description
The ARMBOARD INFANT BARMED is a specialized medical device crafted to provide essential support and stabilization for intravenous (IV) lines or catheters in infants' arms. Designed specifically for neonatal and young infant care, this armboard plays a crucial role in safeguarding cannulation sites, thereby minimizing the risk of complications such as extravasation and vascular fibrosis.
Key Benefits
- Prevents Dislodgement: By immobilizing the infant's arm, it significantly reduces the likelihood of IV catheter dislodgement, thereby lowering the risk of infection.
- Ease of Application: The device is straightforward to apply, making it highly suitable for use in neonatal and pediatric care settings.
Construction and Comfort
The armboard is constructed from rigid plastic or a similarly durable material, providing necessary structural support. Comfort is ensured through thick foam padding, which helps prevent pressure points and skin irritation. The use of soft, breathable, hypo-allergenic materials further enhances safety and comfort for the delicate skin of infants.
Design Features
- Padded Surface: The soft, padded surface minimizes skin irritation.
- Velcro Straps: Equipped with two removable Velcro straps, the armboard allows for secure and adjustable positioning, ensuring a snug fit without compromising circulation.
Size Options
Available in multiple sizes to accommodate different needs:
- Medium: 140mm x 50(37)mm x 7mm
- Small: 110mm x 42(34)mm x 7mm
Usage Guidelines
This armboard is intended for single-use only, to be discarded after one IV therapy session to maintain optimal infection control. It should be used under the supervision of a medical professional, who will determine the appropriate duration of use.
Instructions for Use
- Positioning: Gently slide the armboard under the child's arm.
- Securing: Use the Velcro straps to secure the armboard, ensuring they are snug but do not restrict blood flow.
The ARMBOARD INFANT BARMED is an invaluable tool in the hands of healthcare professionals, designed to enhance the safety and effectiveness of IV therapy in young patients.
