On a daily basis, patients and medical staff are confronted with splints, used to decrease the movement of limbs with catheters during intravenous therapy. These devices are currently inefficient to work with, uncomfortable for the patient and do not protect the catheter well enough. Besides this, the device does not contribute to a positive healing environment because of its primitive appearance. This project delivers a new device, called Embrees, which helps to fixate a catheter on the hand or forearm of patients between 2 and 18 years old in a fast, comfortable, safe and friendly way. The initiator of this project is Petra van Schie and it is carried out for Panton - Medidee.
