IVs Just Got a Little Less “Ouchy”

Linebacker NEONATAL and Linebacker PEDS were developed as a more comfortable alternative to tape when securing IV tubing on infants and children.

Both are soft, simple to apply, and lock the IV line in place with a secure hook and loop closure. Most importantly, both versions offer superior comfort—no more sticky tape or painful skin irritations that can damage young skin.

These revolutionary devices, like the original Linebacker® are disposable, non-sterile, and designed for single patient use. They can protect the smallest patients, including those in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) by:

• lowering the number of restarts needed due to accidental dislodgement
• reducing the opportunity for tape-related infections, open sores, skin irritation
• curtails leaks in health care providers’ gloves

How does it work?
Linebacker is applied in three simple steps once the IV has been initiated.
1) Peel back protective film on the Linebacker
2) Place IV tubing on adhesive and fold over
3) Wrap strap around limb and secure

Linebacker NEONATAL measures 7 inches and is the perfect choice for infants and toddlers.
Linebacker PEDS measures 9 inches and is suitable for children and young adults.

Qualities that make Linebacker the superior choice:

• Latex-free
• Tapeless
• Quick, simple to apply
• Offers painless removal
• Can reduce accidental dislodgements, which means less painful needle sticks!
