--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Interrad Medical, Inc. is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices designed for minimally-invasive interventional and surgical procedures. Interrad Medical has developed a completely new method for catheter securement called the SecurAcath Universal (TM) System. The unique design of the SecurAcath Universal System secures catheters right at the insertion site using a small, blunt anchor that deploys in the subcutaneous tissue just beneath the skin. The device is fast and easy to use, allows for catheter length adjustments, and does not need to be replaced. There are 15 million central venous access catheters placed each year worldwide. Currently, catheters are secured on the surface of a patient’s skin using sutures or adhesive devices. The SecurAcath Universal System has the potential to become the next standard of care for catheter securement.
