The SecurAcath® Subcutaneous Anchor Securement System (SASS) is a revolutionary new method for catheter securement that does not require sutures or adhesives. The unique design of the SecurAcath® secures right at the insertion site using small, flexible securement feet placed in the subcutaneous tissue just beneath the skin. 6
Used for securing PICC lines, CVCs and other lines for any patients, from neonates to geriatrics.
