Idea Exchange: Wrap intravenous catheters in red as visual reminder

Dec 1, 2010
VETERINARY MEDICINE

We wrap red Vetrap (3M) around placed intravenous catheters and wrap other colors of Vetrap around regular bandages. The red bandage serves as a visible reminder to team members to remove the catheter before sending the patient home.
