In clinical environments, patient interference with IV lines often leads to catheter displacement, phlebitis, or the need for repeated insertions, increasing both operational costs and patient stress. This guard provides a durable physical barrier that prevents licking, chewing, and scratching without compromising visibility or comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineered for professional veterinary use, the guard features a lightweight, ventilated design that ensures proper airflow to the site while allowing clinicians to monitor the catheter without removal.
