Where can you obtain a Hickman catheter stat lock device?
You may be able to use a Picc Stat Lock, or even a Foley Stat Lock. ETA: Not sure what kind of Hickman you have but if it has suture wings, a PICC Plus StatLock may work. Other Hickman lines have Silastic cuffs so they will graft in place anyway and don't have suture wings. As for where to acquire, I would recommend contacting whoever provides your catheter maintenance supplies.
