Umbilical catheters are normally held with tape and adhesives,
which were not designed to secure and protect one of the most important components of neonatal care.
Up To Two Thirds
of umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) migrate after placement
Gupta R, et al. American Journal of Perinatology 2016, 33:600-604.
Dubbink-Verheij GH, et al. Neonatology 2019, 115:205-210.
20% of neonates with UVCs
develop UVC-related complications,
95% of which have malpositioned catheters
Mutlu M, et al. The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine 2016, 29(17)2817-2822.
UVC malposition is associated with necrotizing enterocolitis, pericardial effusion, and infections.
