Vascular access device dressing optimisation using tissue adhesive
Tissue adhesives optimise VAD dressing by enhancing haemostasis, securement and infection control. This practice improves patient outcomes and reduces costs. The findings support the integration of tissue adhesives into standard VAD care protocols to enhance patient safety and operational efficiency. In future, research may explore the use of tissue adhesives in larger bore VADs and other clinical applications.
