The Portex® Lockit® Plus is a dedicated epidural catheter securement device designed to help maintain stable catheter positioning after epidural placement. It provides a reliable method to anchor the catheter at the skin level, reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement, migration, or kinking during patient movement.
Unlike adhesive tape alone, Lockit® Plus offers mechanical fixation combined with skin-friendly adhesion, supporting consistent drug delivery throughout epidural anesthesia or analgesia. It is commonly used in labor epidurals, postoperative pain management, and regional anesthesia, where catheter stability over time is critical.
