<p>You do need to extend your insertion site alcohol prep or chlorhexidine prep widely to both sides to cover the securement site. This is a necessary step to cleanse the skin before the StatLock stabilization device application.</p> <p>BD recommends the use of the skin prep pad included with the StatLock stabilization device. The skin prep provides an acrylic layer that protects the skin and enhances adherence of the anchor pad. Performing both of these steps will maximize product performance.</p> <p>When you use the skin prep you'll need to allow it to dry for 10 to 15 seconds and make certain it is dry, meaning smooth to the touch – not tacky. Use your clinical judgment based on assessment of the patient's skin. Just remember, when skin prep is not used the StatLock stabilization devices may prematurely lift.</p>
