Correct maintenance of peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters is vital in the treatment of patients in critical care.
CaptIVTM: The latest Innovation for Securing IV Lines & Catheters

The placement of IV catheters and giving sets can be time-consuming and stressful for both the vet professional and the patient. Preparation of equipment can prolong a procedure and the materials used in securing the catheter can be costly over time when you combine the cost of multiple tapes & removal sprays!

One IV placement may use multiple materials like adhesive tape, bandaging, rolled gauze and self-adherent wrap to secure the site. This arduous method not only uses several valuable items in one go but has the potential to cause discomfort to the patient during removal. A more secure application of the catheter will also ensure that dislodgement or other complications don't occur.

With CaptIVTM, Securing IV Lines and Catheters has Never Been Easier!

CaptIVTM is a unique, one-piece dressing, specifically designed for the simple and secure fixation of IV Lines and IV Catheters in veterinary procedures.

In a few easy steps – and without prepping tape strips or other dressing equipment – CaptIVTM gives you a neat and extremely secure dressing to hold the catheter and tubing in place. It's an all-in-one alternative to the usual time-consuming approach to IV catheter fixation

CaptIVTM is a straight from the box solution that removes the hassle and protects the puncture site. The aseptic dressing is applied in a few clear steps and removed with ease. You save time, money and hassle!

Unlike alternative products and methods, you can easily & gently remove the dressing, just with a little water on a pad.

Save Time in 6 Simple Steps

1.           You can remove the backing paper in stages, so CaptIVTM doesn't stick to itself.

2.           Use the side-slit to feed CaptIVTM under the catheter hub, then firm the dressing down.

3.           Now secure the hub with the special tab that neatly holds the hub down.

4.           Pass one adhesive strap around the leg and over the hub.

5.           Attach your IV Line or connector and then pass the other strap around the leg to secure it.

6.           To remove CaptIVTM easily and gently, just tease it from the skin with a water moistened pad.
