Central venous catheters, or central lines, deliver life-saving medication to critically ill neonatal and paediatric patients, yet 40% of them are misplaced or migrate due to a serious shortage in fit-for-purpose medical products. Pioneers in the neonatal innovation space, Navi Medical Technologies, are solving this problem with a device enhancing central line placement tailored for bodies as small as 500 grams. Hear the story of Sarah and James, whose son Archie spent 210 days in the NICU, and meet Vascular Access Nurse Stephanie Pitts, and Neonatal Fellow Gillian Foo, who discuss the importance of giving every child the best start from day one.
