Securement is now the standard of care.
More than 300 million intravenous catheters are placed every year in the U.S. alone.¹ Up to one in four fails before therapy is complete, driven by dislodgement, infection, and skin injury.²
The 2024 INS Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice are explicit: "Using a manufactured catheter stabilization device is preferred." Sutures are called out for needlestick risk, biofilm growth, and increased bloodstream infection risk.³
Every prevented CLABSI saves an estimated $30,000 to $55,000.⁴ Securement is the cheapest place to start

Meet Cathaid® NextGen.
Cathaid® NextGen is a securement device (not a dressing) designed to replace tape, sutures, and legacy clip and anchor systems for PICCs, midlines, and central venous catheters.
Single lid: one closure, one motion. Flexible pins conform to the catheter hub on first close, with no manual repositioning.
And it holds: 15 lb of pull force in benchtop testing.⁵
One platform works across the hub geometries of the major catheter brands, in two adhesive options for different skin needs.
SINGLE LID · FLEXIBLE PINS · 15 LB HOLD · WORKS ACROSS MAJOR BRANDS

Engineered as one system. Sterilized by e-beam. Built to be simple at the bedside.
Every layer has a job.
01
MOLDED CLIP:
A single-polymer clip carries the mechanical load: 15 lb of hold that never depends on adhesive gripping the line.⁵
02
SINGLE LID + FLEXIBLE PINS:
One closure, one motion. The pins conform to the catheter hub on first close, with no manual repositioning.
03
FOAM CUSHION:
A comfort layer between clip and skin pad that distributes clip load over the contact area.
04
SKIN-CONTACT PAD:
Your choice of substrate: hydrocolloid for fragile, MARSI-sensitive skin, or breathable polyester tricot with acrylic adhesive for everyday use.
05
LINERS:
Peel in sequence for a clean, repeatable application every time.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SECUREMENT SOLUTION
One Device. Two Adhesive Options.
Cathaid® NextGen is available in two adhesive options to support different patient needs while providing secure hold for PICCs, midlines, and central venous catheters.
HYDROCOLLOID VERSION
Designed for patients with fragile or at-risk skin.
The Hydrocolloid version is designed for MARSI-sensitive patients, including oncology, neonatal, geriatric, and long dwell patients. The hydrocolloid adhesive conforms to the skin, absorbs moisture, and helps reduce mechanical and moisture associated injury. It is designed for atraumatic removal without aggressive acrylic pull on fragile skin while minimizing adhesive contact area and preserving secure hold.
IDEAL FOR:
Oncology patients
Geriatric patients
Neonatal patients
Long-dwell catheters
MARSI-sensitive skin
ACRYLIC VERSION
Designed for standard securement applications.
A breathable polyester tricot backing with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive: strong initial tack and reliable multi day hold for everyday use. Because NextGen's clip carries the mechanical load, the adhesive doesn't have to do the securement's job.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Strong initial adhesion
Suited when fragile skin is not the primary concern
