WHAT IS SAFEBOARD
SafeBoard is a patented extremity stabilization device designed as a tool to assist in the placement of PICC lines and IV catheters in neonates and pediatrics. This device is designed to safely to securely stabilize the extremity in a non-traumatic manner to improve the safety and efficacy of ultrasound guided vascular access.

THE BENEFITS
SafeBoard avoids the use of medical adhesives, additional medical personnel as
extremity "holders", and most importantly reduces the need for sedation and/or general anesthesia for ultrasound guided PICC/Midline/PIV placement. Preliminary use with this device, as part of a manuscript published in the Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care, also has shown that it can reduce the number of attempts while increasing the overall success rate. In addition to US guided PICC/Midline/PIV placement, SafeBoard has been applied for peripheral IV insertion, phlebotomy, dressing changes, and other general medical purposes requiring the safe, minimally invasive stabilization of an extremity.

TESTIMONIALS
"When her last picc line was placed, they didn't use sedation because she's "immobile", however, due to tone issues she kind of fought them a bit and tried to bend her arm so they just held her arm down, but mostly putting pressure with the girls thumb on her wrist. As a result, she had terrible bruising. This is obviously another way SafeBoard is needed and can help. It would have never happened that way with SafeBoard."
