PRODUCT INFORMATION

SAM Medical · IO Access Accessory

SAM IO Driver Stabilizer

The adhesive retention device for the SAM IO intraosseous system. It goes on after needle placement and stylet removal, anchoring the catheter hub to the skin so the needle is not moved by patient handling, vibration or repositioning during transport. Sold singly or in a five-pack.

SAM IO system accessoryApplied after placementSingle or 5-packSingle-patient use

An IO that moves in the medullary cavity is an IO you are about to lose — and you lose it during the move, not during the placement.

What's Included

An accessory, not a kit. What ships depends on the quantity you select — the single and the five-pack are separate SKUs and separate manufacturer part numbers. Tap the one you are ordering.

The product name says Driver Stabilizer; what it stabilizes is the catheter, not the driver. Read it as the catheter-retention component of the SAM IO system.

▾Who Carries It

Military and SOF medics maintaining IO access through CASEVAC and MEDEVAC, where movement, vibration and repositioning are the forces that dislodge an unsecured catheter · Flight and critical-care transport crews · EMS agencies that have standardized on the SAM IO platform and stock the stabilizer alongside needles · Unit supply and kit builders using the five-pack as the resupply line.

Intraosseous access is an advanced procedure restricted to providers trained and authorized to perform it under their scope of practice and local protocol. Site selection, needle size, confirmation of placement and the decision to establish IO access at all are clinical decisions; SAM Medical's own instructions for use govern how the stabilizer is applied.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is the SAM IO Stabilizer important after IO placement?

The SAM IO Stabilizer secures the IO catheter hub against the skin after needle placement, preventing catheter dislodgement during patient movement, transport, and treatment. An unsecured IO catheter can shift within the bone cavity, causing extravasation, IO site damage, or complete loss of access. In tactical and prehospital settings where patients are moved and repositioned frequently, stabilization is a critical final step in the IO placement procedure before infusion begins.

Is the SAM IO Stabilizer single-use?

Yes. The SAM IO Driver Stabilizer (IO740-1P-EN / IO740-5P-EN) is a single-patient-use device. A new stabilizer should be applied for each IO access event. Used stabilizers should be disposed of appropriately after the IO catheter is removed.

Can I use tape instead of the SAM IO Stabilizer?

While some providers improvise IO catheter securement with medical tape in austere conditions, the SAM IO Stabilizer is purpose-engineered to fit the specific hub geometry of SAM IO needle assemblies, providing more reliable retention than improvised tape. In wet, dirty, or bloody field conditions, tape adhesion often fails. The Stabilizer is specifically designed for field durability and should be used whenever available.

Is the Stabilizer included with the SAM IO Driver?

The full SAM IO Intraosseous Access System kit includes one Stabilizer. However, when purchasing the SAM IO Driver or needles individually, the Stabilizer is available separately as a single unit (MEDTAC1059) or in a 5-pack (MEDTAC1060). Units maintaining SAM IO kits should ensure an adequate supply of Stabilizers alongside their needle inventory.

When in the IO placement sequence is the Stabilizer applied?

The SAM IO Stabilizer is applied after successful IO needle placement and stylet removal — specifically, after the driver needle has entered the medullary cavity, the stylet has been withdrawn from the catheter, and the Luer-lock port has been exposed. The Stabilizer should be applied before connecting the extension set (via the SAM IO Adaptor) and before beginning aspiration, flushing, or infusion, to ensure the catheter is secured prior to any manipulation of the access line.
