Abstract
Health professionals are responsible for preventing and minimising complications related to vascular access devices. This is important from the perspectives of both the patient and the health economy. Practitioners have many tools at their disposal and evidence is available to assist in using these tools to enhance best practice. A relatively new tool has been acknowledged as having a role in vascular access as well as previously recognised roles in other areas of healthcare. Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive has been approved for use with vascular access devices and the benefits of this aid to device securement are now being recognised.
