An independent study proved Linebacker’s ultimate tensile strength is 260% stronger than 1" wide tape, and 80% stronger than 2" wide tape.
LINEBACKER is a revolutionary device that secures IV tubing to a patient’s limb in a way ordinary medical tape cannot. Linebacker is quick and simple to apply, and locks the IV line in place with a secure hook and loop closure. It provides superior comfort, preserves skin integrity, and eliminates opportunity for accidental IV dislodgement.
A disposable, single patient use device, the Linebacker protects patients and health care providers by lowering the number of IV restarts and minimizing the possibility of tape-related infections, open sores, skin irritation, and possible leaks in health care provider’s gloves.
Linebacker is the new gold standard for securing IV tubing. By drastically reducing the number of IV restarts and eliminating the opportunity for tape related infections, Linebacker saves hospitals and healthcare providers millions of dollars in unnecessary tape management created problems.
Reliability = Fewer restarts = less pain and discomfort for patients = valuable nursing time saved = savings to healthcare providers
Skin integrity = Less infection = less pain and discomfort for patients = less healthcare professional time required = significant financial savings to healthcare providers
A Winner in the Field
Linebacker’s strength and durability make it the perfect choice for emergency medical service (EMS) professionals and those serving in remote, tactical military locations.
Research shows healthcare professionals in these environments are faced with less than perfect conditions and routinely see tape fail to perform. Linebacker is more reliable than tape under wet conditions such as heavy bleeding, profuse perspiration, or inclement weather. In addition, it offers superior comfort to patients and performs well during patient transport.
Increased durability = reduced opportunity for dislodgment = safety & comfort for patients |
