Advancing the standard of care in IV therapy and nephrostomy drainage
ReLink / LinkUS
ReLink platform
Catheter dislodgement is a significant issue, compromising patient safety, straining nursing resources, and adding to healthcare costs. This problem is relevant in intravenous (IV) infusion and nephrostomy drainage.
​
IV catheterisation is the most common invasive procedure in modern healthcare, with 16 billion IV lines and 1.5 billion catheters used annually worldwide. Despite advancements in technology, on average 10% of catheters still fail due to accidental dislodgement.(1)
Similarly, in nephrostomy drainage, up to 37% of catheters dislodge accidentally,(2) leading to serious complications such as patient injury and emergency room visits.
​
Our platform technology, ReLink, is a breakaway connector designed to reduce catheter dislodgement in IV therapy (ReLink IV) and nephrostomy drainage (ReLink Drain) caused by excessive force on the line. Unlike traditional solutions that focus on securement, ReLink is a self-sealable double-valved breakaway connector. The self-sealable valves reduce the spillage of medicine and fluids.
ReLink IV dual-use
ReLink IV is now approved for dual-use, tailored for both military and civilian IV settings.
​​
Its ease of use makes it ideal for frontline field hospitals, disaster relief operation or any healthcare facility where IV therapy is performed.
​
The dual-use of ReLink IV ensures continuity of IV therapy, whether in combat zones or civilian hospitals.
