The hospital I work at sends picc line patients home with Securacaths in place. I feel it has benefitted our patients and our facility because we are concerned with reducing the risk of line infections, especially on those patients leaving the hospital setting. We believe it reduces the chance of accidental picc line removal during dressing changes as well as during dwell time.
