Overall quality

After using the 3M™ Nasogastric Securement Device in place of their current device, 80.4% (37/46) of nurses would recommend the use of the 3M device.*¹

Better Performance

77.8% (35/45) of nurses considered the overall performance of the 3M™ Nasogastric Securement Device to be better or much better than their current device (p<.0001).*

Ability to assess the skin

89.1% (41/46) of nurses considered the 3M™ Nasogastric Securement Device to be better or much better than their current device in its ability to enable skin assessment without adjusting or removing the product (p<.0001).*

Ability for tube to hand freely

84.8% (39/46) of nurses considered the 3M™ Nasogastric Securement Device to be better or much better than their current device for its ability to allow the tube to hang freely (and not rest against the naris).*

More Reliable Securement:

3M™ Nasogastric Securement Device had a statistically higher percentage of devices remaining on the skin than Hollister® Feeding Tube Attachment Device after 48 hours and 72 hours of wear.*

*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study of 64 healthy human subjects over 3 days of wear.

Do not place on the center of the nose

Off-center placement allows the tube to hang freely to help minimize contact with the naris.

Wrap the short tab of the horizontal tail

After removing the bottom liner to expose the adhesive, place tube in alignment with vertical tail of the securement device and apply firm pressure to adhere it to the tube. Wrap the short tab (on right) of the horizontal part of the device around the tube. Wrap the long horizontal part of the device in a spiral fashion around the tube and apply firm pressure to enhance adhesion.

Do not attempt to tape over the non-adhesive section of the device

This intended design feature allows the tube to hang freely to help reduce the risk of pressure injury

Use the non-adhesive tab at the end of the tail to unwrap the device from the tube, while stabilizing the tube

A non-adhesive tab at the end of the tail is intended to help aid in removal.
