NOTHING SECURES LIKE MASTISOL Locks down catheter dressings to help adhere to CDC guidelines.
A clear, non-irritating liquid adhesive used to aid in the securement of dressings, wound closure strips, tapes, and medical devices. A non-water soluble, ensuring the integrity of dressings and devices on diaphoretic patients or in moist environments.
ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CDC GUIDELINES
1. Protect against the risk of infection: CDC Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections recommend:
- Replacement of catheter site dressing if damp, loosened, or visibly soiled (Category IB).
- Replacement of dressings on short-term central venous catheter (CVC) sites at least every 7 days (Category IB).
2. CDC Guidelines for the Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections recommend:
- Properly secured indwelling catheters after insertion to prevent movement and urethral traction (Category IB).
3. Assure adherence:
- Mastisol is a nonwater soluble adhesive.
- Ensures that dressings will remain intact if the patient is diaphoretic or if the dressings are placed in moist, contaminant prone areas.
- More than 8 million applications every year.
- Adhesion is superior to tincture of benzoin.
4. Reduce the risk of infection
- Recent data suggests that dressing disruptions are a major risk factor for catheter-related infections.
- In a study of catheter-related bloodstream infections: 60% of infections were attributed to skin flora or other contamination coming in contact with the catheter insertion point.
- Mastisol minimizes infection risk by helping to keep the system closed and the dressing intact for the recommended dressing stay time.
5. Enhance tape/dressing performance
- In a study designed to evaluate the effects of different techniques used to secure intravenous catheters.
- Pretreatment of skin with Mastisol enhanced the adhesive performance of all tapes tested,* better than benzoin or no treatment at all.
- Mastisol can also enhance the adhesive performance of a variety of occlusive dressings and devices.
Benefits
1. Mastisol can improve patient safety
- Minimizes the risk of infection by creating a lasting occlusive dressing barrier, particularly around CVC sites.
- Reduces the likelihood of dressing displacement and device dislodgement.
- Reduced risk of adverse reactions (lower incidence of postoperative contact dermatitis and skin discoloration than tincture of benzoin).
- Is latex free to alleviate potential allergic reactions.
2. Mastisol assures convenience and versatility for healthcare professionals
- Long-lasting adhesion saves time and cost of multiple dressing replacements or device dislodgements
- Versatility across a range of procedures and applications
FAQs

4. How does Mastisol compare to Benzoin?
- According to a study conducted by Dr. Lesesne, loss of adhesiveness was experienced in 60 out of 150 (40%) patients with benzoin, compared to only 10 out of 150 (7%) patients with Mastisol. Additionally, temporary contact dermatitis developed in 57 benzoin treated patients compared to with 1 Mastisol treated patient.
