Urinary Tube Holder Catheter Fixator Anti Slip Collector Drainage Stabilization Cannula Fixation Sticker

Product description

Material: Foley catheter fixation devices are typically made from soft and flexible medical-grade materials such as silicone or latex, ensuring patient comfort and minimizing the risk of skin irritation.

Design: These devices are designed to securely hold Foley catheters in place, preventing accidental dislodgment or movement, and are often adjustable to accommodate different patient sizes and preferences.

Features:

• Adhesive Base: Foley catheter fixation devices come with an adhesive base that securely attaches to the patient's skin, providing stability and preventing the catheter from shifting.
• Securement Straps: Some fixation devices include adjustable straps that wrap around the catheter tubing and help to keep it in place without causing discomfort or restricting movement.
• Soft Padding: Many fixation devices have soft padding around the catheter insertion site to cushion the area and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers or skin irritation.
• Antimicrobial Properties: Certain fixation devices are designed with antimicrobial coatings or materials to help reduce the risk of infection at the catheter insertion site.
• Adjustability: Fixation devices often have adjustable features, such as straps or fasteners, to ensure a customized and secure fit for each patient.
• Compatibility: These devices are compatible with various sizes and types of Foley catheters, providing a versatile solution for catheter fixation.

Benefits:

• Prevents Dislodgment: Foley catheter fixation devices help prevent accidental dislodgment of the catheter, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring continuous drainage.
• Comfort: The soft and flexible materials used in these devices enhance patient comfort and minimize skin irritation, even during prolonged catheter use.
• Secure Placement: By securely holding the catheter in place, these devices maintain proper positioning and prevent kinking or pulling on the catheter, which can lead to discomfort and complications.
• Reduces Movement: Fixation devices minimize catheter movement, preventing friction and trauma to the urethra or bladder lining.
• Facilitates Drainage: A stable and well-fixed catheter allows for efficient drainage of urine, reducing the risk of blockages or leakage.
• Promotes Healing: Properly securing the Foley catheter with a fixation device can support the healing process, especially in postoperative or critically ill patients.

In summary, Foley catheter fixation devices are essential accessories that provide secure and comfortable stabilization of Foley catheters, promoting proper drainage and reducing the risk of complications associated with catheter movement or dislodgment.

FAQ

1.What is catheter fixation?
Securing and fixation de- vices are specifically designed to prevent the catheter or its retention balloon from causing injury or damage to the skin, bladder neck or urethra (Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN), 2012).

2.How do you secure a Foley catheter?
The catheter needs to be completely secured with tape, starting almost at the level of the meatus and continuing as the catheter is secured underneath the thigh. Then wrap a large, wide elastic bandage around the patient's thigh, completely covering the tape and Foley catheter.
 

3.How to place a Foley catheter?
Open the Foley catheter and lubricate generously with the lubricant. Insert the Foley catheter until you reach the “Y” of the catheter. Slowly inflate the balloon with the attached syringe, using the correct amount of water stated on the catheter tip in ml, then disconnect the syringe from the Foley

4.What is a Foley catheter for augmentation?
A balloon catheter, such as a Foley catheter, is a narrow tube with a small balloon on the end. The doctor inserts it into the cervix and inflates the balloon. This helps the cervix open (dilate). The catheter is left in place until the cervix has opened enough for the balloon to fall out (about 3 cm).
 

5.How do you stabilize a Foley catheter?
First put the catheter into STATLOCK device retainer clamp and close. The balloon inflation arm should be next to the clamp hinge. Then place STATLOCK device anchor pad on leg. The arrow should point towards tip of the catheter.
