Foley Catheter Holder Secures Without Tape or Discomfort
A patented Foley catheter holder that stabilizes the indwelling catheter, helps reduce meatal irritation without restricting patient movement, and meets WOCN guidelines for securing catheters is available from Dale Medical Products, Inc. of Plainville, Massachusetts.
The Dale Foley Catheter Holder features a green VelcroŽ locking device with two interlocking tabs that anchor the catheter and a soft, supple, 2" wide leg band which stretches without narrowing to avoid the tourniquet effect. Designed to secure the catheter anywhere along the tube or at the "Y" port, this holder minimizes catheter movement, prevents meatal irritation, is easy to rotate, and meets WOCN guidelines.
Simple to put on and take off, the green VelcroŽ locking device's two inter-locking tabs each attach to the leg band and facilitate catheter traction. Eliminating the problems associated with tape and the need for shaving the patient, this latex-free holder will not irritate the skin. One size fits most adults and children comfortably and a bariatric size is also offered.
Dale Foley Catheter Holders are priced at $3.45 each (sugg. list); individ-ually packaged 10 per box. Free samples are available upon request.
