FEATURED PRODUCT
There are 121,000 unplanned extubations in the U.S. every year, risking serious clinical complications such as aspiration pneumonia, brain damage, and cardia arrest. 33,000 result in preventable deaths.
Patients in respiratory distress and emergent procedures currently have their life-sustaining breathing tubes secured with flimsy tape.
The combined impact of unplanned extubations and medical device-related pressure injuries imposes a substantial financial burden on health systems, amounting to approximately $8.4 billion annually.
