Release© improves the freedom of movement of the (delirium) patient while ensuring comfort and safety of the caregivers. The product prevents accidental removal as result of an excessive pull force through automatic disconnection just before the securement of the placed peripheral intravenous catheter would release. The product can be placed directly on the intravenous infusion line anywhere in the system and only interferes the infusion when needed. If preferred the product can be reconnected to succeed the infusion after disconnecting.
