Effective peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter securement is an important consideration during IV therapy. Keeping a cannula appropriately stabilised can help support catheter management while allowing healthcare professionals to monitor the insertion site during patient care.

The IV Glove range from Vena Cava Medical Supplies provides purpose-designed IV securement devices for different clinical requirements. The collection includes four products: IV Glove 3.0 Pediatric, IV Glove 3.0 Strapless, IV Glove EasyStick and IVG Mini.

Each product offers a different approach to peripheral IV securement, giving healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations options to consider depending on the patient, application and clinical environment.

What Is an IV Securement Device?

An IV securement device is designed to help stabilise a peripheral IV catheter after insertion. Securement is an important part of IV therapy because unwanted catheter movement can interfere with the management of the IV site.

Traditional securement methods may rely on adhesive tape and other materials. Purpose-designed IV securement devices provide an alternative approach, incorporating features such as adhesive bases, protective domes, padding and dedicated stabilisation mechanisms.

The IV Glove range is designed around this principle, offering several securement options in different formats.

IV Glove 3.0 Pediatric

The IV Glove 3.0 Pediatric IV Securement Device is specifically designed for paediatric patients requiring peripheral IV catheter securement.

Its compact, low-profile design and soft medical-grade materials are intended to provide a child-friendly approach to IV stabilisation. The device also features a transparent protective dome, allowing the IV insertion site to remain visible for routine observation.

The paediatric-specific design makes this product particularly relevant to clinical environments where peripheral IV access is required for younger patients, including paediatric wards, emergency departments, outpatient settings and community healthcare.

Key Features of IV Glove 3.0 Pediatric

  • Designed specifically for paediatric IV securement
  • Compact, low-profile design

For healthcare professionals looking for a purpose-designed paediatric IV securement device, the IV Glove 3.0 Pediatric provides an option specifically developed around the requirements of younger patients.

IV Glove 3.0 Strapless

The IV Glove 3.0 Strapless is an advanced strapless IV securement device designed to provide peripheral cannula stabilisation without relying on straps.

The device uses a foam-padded adhesive base designed to provide a secure hold across the skin. Its transparent central dome allows healthcare professionals to maintain visibility of the IV insertion site, while its low-profile construction is designed with patient comfort in mind.

The strapless format makes the IV Glove 3.0 a practical option for healthcare settings where a dedicated IV securement device is preferred over tape-only methods.

The IV Glove EasyStick IV Securement Device is another strapless solution within the IV Glove range.

EasyStick features a dual-sided foam-padded adhesive base with an expanded adhesive surface designed to provide securement across different anatomical locations. The low-profile design is intended to provide a practical and patient-friendly solution for peripheral IV catheter stabilisation.

A transparent protective dome allows the IV insertion site to remain visible, supporting routine monitoring without unnecessarily removing the securement device.

Designed for routine and short-term peripheral IV access, the IVG Mini has a low-profile format intended for areas where space may be limited. Its design provides structured support around the IV insertion site while allowing healthcare professionals to visually monitor the area.

The IVG Mini is supplied in a pack of 150, making it an option worth considering for healthcare organisations that require a higher-volume supply of IV securement devices.

Why Consider Purpose-Designed IV Securement?

Peripheral IV access is used across many areas of healthcare, and appropriate catheter securement is an important consideration when managing an IV site.

Purpose-designed securement devices can offer features specifically intended for IV catheter stabilisation, rather than relying solely on general-purpose adhesive tape.

Visibility of the IV Site

Low-Profile Designs

The IV Glove range includes compact and low-profile designs intended to provide securement while maintaining a practical format around the IV site.

Strapless Options

The IV Glove 3.0 Strapless and IV Glove EasyStick provide strapless securement options for healthcare professionals seeking an alternative to traditional strap-based or tape-only approaches.
