Description
Placing the IO catheter is the fast part. Keeping it seated through a patient move, a stair carry, and a bumpy transport is where lines get lost. The SAM IO Stabilizer is a low-profile cylinder that surrounds and protects the catheter hub after placement, guarding against the bump or snag that would otherwise dislodge access you cannot easily re-establish.
Why It Fits Your Program
Any team that places IO access and then moves the patient needs securement, and that is nearly everyone: ground EMS, air medical, tactical and military medics, and emergency departments handling transfers between beds and scanners. The single pack suits a per-bag or per-kit build. The five pack is the practical choice for restocking a station or fleet without reordering every few weeks.
What Is Included
- Single pack: one SAM IO Stabilizer
- Five pack: five SAM IO Stabilizers

Compatibility
Works with all SAM IO 15-gauge sterile needle sets: IO805-1P and IO805-5P (15mm), IO806-1P and IO806-5P (25mm), IO807-1P and IO807-5P (45mm). Confirmed compatible with the new Gen II needle design, and SAM has published updated instructions for use covering that pairing. Pairs with the SAM IO Driver (IO700) and stores in the SAM IO Field Case (IO745-EN).
Program Context
Stabilizers are a consumable, one per placement, which makes them easy to under-stock. Agencies that treat them as part of the needle reorder rather than a separate item rarely run short. Extension tubing is included with each sterile needle set, so a complete field-ready IO build is driver, needles, stabilizer, and a case to hold them.
