Scalp intravenous infusion for children is a common infusion method in pediatrics. The general practice for scalp intravenous infusion is to fix the disposable scalp needle with infusion adhesive tapes after successful puncture, and then use medical adhesive tapes to wrap and assist in fixation.
This fixation method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, traditional medical adhesive tapes are inelastic and airtight. Newborns tend to cry and be restless, especially in summer when babies sweat more. To prevent the needle from falling off, medical staff often wrap the head multiple times with medical adhesive tapes to fix the needle. Parents, seeing their children's restlessness and worrying about the pain of secondary puncture due to needle detachment, also often request nurses to wrap more layers. However, the medical adhesive tapes commonly used in clinical practice have poor air permeability and many are inelastic. Wrapping too many layers makes babies uncomfortable, and sweat easily causes the tapes to fall off,causing to secondary puncture and pain for children.
On the other hand, traditional medical adhesive tapes have too strong viscosity, easily sticking to babies' hair and causing pain when removing the needle. To protect babies' hair, medical staff are cautious when removing the needle, resulting in prolonged needle removal time. Due to hair pulling pain, inner fear, physical discomfort, and other reasons, many babies cry violently throughout the needle removal process.
To solve the problem of fixing pediatric scalp needles, Kanglidi Medical has developed the Reinforced Self-Adhesive Elastic Bandage by utilizing the characteristics of elastic bandages. After successful scalp needle puncture, the needle is fixed with a fixed infusion patch, and then wrapped 1-2 times with Kanglidi scalp needle patches for auxiliary fixation.
Benefits of Kanglidi Elastic Bandage - Reinforced Self-Adhesive Type:
① The reinforced self-adhesive bandage uses the self-adhesive property of the elastic bandage itself, adhering to itself without sticking to hair. When removing the needle, it only needs to be gently peeled off at the pasting area, completing the action in one step. The fast needle removal speed reduces pain for children.
② It has good fixity, which can reduce accidental needle bulging and detachment, and effectively extend the service life of indwelling needles, avoiding the pain of repeated punctures for children.
③ The surface is made of natural latex, which is safe, non-toxic, less likely to cause allergies, and non-irritating.
④ It has certain waterproof effects and good air permeability, effectively solving the problem of detachment due to children's sweating.
