TIDI3300MWA-10PK Grip-Lok Medium-Wide CVC, PICC & Drain Securement Device ― Pack of 10 ― White ― Flexible Material ― Low-Profile Design for Comfort― Home Healthcare ― FSA Eligible Medical Supplies

As a medical needs mom and a nurse. I love these. They work great and last for days. I purchase them every month for my son and recommend them all the time at work

*Please ignore the fuzzies from my shirt that the adhesive collected at the edges. My dressing is changed once a week, and this photo is day 5- great staying power!*I have a central line (port) that is accessed 24/7, and the catheter and therefore needle getting caught and tugged on (ouch), and pulling up the dressing is always a concern for infection. I am extremely allergic to adhesives, and have super sensitive skin to the point of chemical burns. The only dressing I can use with the least amount of reactivity is IV3000. I was nervous about this, but am so relieved that I don't react too much to this (I'm allergic to skin prep, so this is directly on my skin, with a little bit on the labeling tape strip of the dressing). It gives a solid anchor point to protect from painful tugs and having my dressing pulled up. I don't think the photo shows it well, but when I'm putting the dressing on, I hold the line out from my body a little bit, then pinch the dressing around the line so it's completely surrounded, then fold the dressing flap with the line within it to the side and secure it with the upper strip to help prevent the dressing coming up if it gets caught or tugged on.I didn't think about it when I first ordered these, but it has been wonderful for managing the line while bathing. Anyone with a CVAD knows what a PITA the shower covers are. Being able to coil the line, then secure it with the velcro strip takes the load of the tucked in line off of the shower cover adhesive, which I've found to help the cover stick better and longer. These are pretty pricy, but what isn't when you're this far into the weeds of medical supplies.I will keep purchasing and recommending these!

Over the past year I have ordered the LARGE size of this product and successfully received the Large size. So far this month I have ordered the Large size and received the medium size. Somewhere the product is mislabeled. Beware if you order the 3400 Large size you will receive the 3300 medium size.

My son has a GJ tube, so I use 2 of these on each side of his belly to hold his connectors for his feeding tube/med port on one side (Jtube), and his farrel bag for gastric on the other side (Gtube). I have bought these many many many times over and over and they are heaven sent because my son has pulled out his gjtube several times in the past before I had ever purchased these and I rely on them. Recently though, I have noticed the adhesive on about 3 out of the 10 pack I order does not adhere to his skin like it usually did before maybe the past three times I have ordered them, which bugs me only because they are not cheap, and I need them so badly for him I hate to waste them. I have applied them and even in the same day have had a couple come right off his skin like the adhesive is not working like it used to. It is not his skin either as I have cleansed the skin and dried it prior to applying the griplock. Just curious why this has been happening recently than usual. Otherwise I would give this a 5 star review as I am a repetitive buyer with zero issues until the past few purchases I have noticed a difference in the strength of the adhesive being less strong.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I do not do well with the leg-attached stabilizer for a bag attached to my suprapubic catheter. When the hospital installed my first one a year ago, this was used at my waistline (pointing down). It holds the suprapubic drain tube along my waistline, and secures it from slight tugs (especially while sleeping). I do not use this on the tube from the bag, rather upstream on the foley tube. Expect to replace every 2-3 days.

These are great and all for my child that has a gtube but they last about 3 days before I have to change to a new one. It's really annoying. A set of 10 is not worth the money. There should be more than 10.
