Description

The 3M Nasogastric Securement Device is an essential tool for healthcare professionals seeking reliable and safe management of nasogastric (NG) tubes. Designed by 3M, a leader in medical solutions, this device excels in securing tubes while minimizing the risk of pressure injuries and medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI).

Key Features

• Transparent Design: Allows clear visibility of both the skin and the tubes, facilitating easy monitoring and adjustment.
• Non-Adhesive Sections: Enables the tube to hang freely, reducing pressure on the skin and lowering the risk of injury.
• Easy Application and Removal: Features a non-adhesive tab for straightforward removal, supporting consistent application techniques across different users.

Adhesive Performance

The adhesive is engineered to remain effective for up to 48 hours, even in challenging locations. This ensures continuous securement without frequent replacements, enhancing patient comfort and care efficiency.

Available Sizes

• Small: 1.85 in x 1.77 in (4.7 cm x 4.5 cm)
• Large: 2.87 in x 2.24 in (7.3 cm x 5.7 cm)

These size options provide flexibility to accommodate different patient needs and anatomical considerations.

Application Guidelines

For optimal results, it is recommended to place the device off-center and use a proper wrapping technique. This enhances adhesion and minimizes contact with the naris, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

Intended Use

Primarily intended for securing nasogastric tubes near the nose, this device supports healthcare providers in maintaining effective and safe tube management practices. Its thoughtful design and reliable performance make it a valuable addition to any clinical setting.
