Umbilical Catheters are Lifelines for Neonates in the NICU

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

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.
