NCT ID NCT05948878
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three different taping methods for securing IV catheters to see which one resists being pulled out the best. Thirty-two healthy volunteers had IV catheters taped on their arms (not inserted into the skin) and a device measured how much force it took to dislodge them. The goal was to find a better way to keep IVs in place and reduce complications.
