How to: Vapotherm Neonatal Cannula Affixation


With the patient in supine position, make sure his/her face is clean.

Use DuoDERM CGF Extra Thin Dressings (1-3/4″ x 1-1/2″).


Peel off the backing of each duoDERM Spot and place them halfway between the patient’s ear and corner of their lip.

Remove Tender Grips from their package and place them over each Spot with the white tab facing the top of the patient’s head. Pull down each tab.

Pull down the tabs from the Tender Grips and place the cannula tubing across the exposed adhesive. Replace the clear covering over the cannula tubing.
