StatLock® Catheter Foley 10-12Fr Plus Stabilization Device

StatLock® Catheter Foley 10-12Fr Plus Stabilization Device

The StatLock® Catheter Foley 10-12Fr Plus Stabilization Device is designed to help secure small-bore Foley catheters and support consistent catheter positioning during routine urinary catheterization. By providing a dedicated anchoring point on the patient’s skin, this stabilization device helps minimize catheter movement that can contribute to traction, discomfort, and unintentional pulling. It is intended for use in clinical and homecare settings where Foley catheter stabilization is required as part of standard catheter care.

Securement Approach

This device uses an adhesive-backed anchor placed on the skin and a locking mechanism to hold the catheter in place. Stabilization helps maintain the intended catheter orientation and reduces the need for improvised taping methods. The “Plus” design provides an extended footprint and secure platform intended to support reliable fixation and reduce migration when the patient changes position.

Key Features

• Designed for 10–12 Fr Foley catheters for appropriate fit with smaller catheter sizes.
• Skin-friendly adhesive anchor that conforms to typical securement locations and supports day-to-day wear.
• Locking retainer to help keep the catheter aligned and reduce movement at the urethral meatus.
• Low-profile design to support patient comfort and reduce snag risk under clothing or bedding.
• Single-use securement system to support hygienic catheter management and consistent performance.

Clinical Use and Compatibility

The StatLock® Foley 10-12Fr Plus Stabilization Device is used to stabilize indwelling urinary Foley catheters in the 10–12 French range. It may be applied to appropriate intact skin per facility protocol. Proper securement can help support catheter care plans by reducing accidental dislodgement and limiting traction related to tubing pull. This device is not a urinary catheter; it is a catheter securement accessory.

Typical Application Overview

1. Prepare the selected securement site according to institutional policy and ensure skin is clean and dry.
2. Apply the adhesive anchor to intact skin, pressing firmly to ensure full contact.
3. Position the catheter within the retainer in the intended orientation and close/lock the mechanism.
4. Route drainage tubing to reduce tension and secure tubing as appropriate to help prevent pulling.
5. Inspect routinely for adhesion integrity, skin condition, and securement stability; replace per protocol.

Patient Comfort and Skin Considerations

When used as directed, stabilization devices can support comfort by reducing catheter tugging during movement and transfers. Routine assessment of the securement site is recommended, especially for patients with fragile skin, diaphoresis, edema, or sensitivity to adhesives. If irritation, blistering, or skin injury occurs, discontinue use and follow clinical guidance.

Product Summary

For best results, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and your facility’s catheter care protocols to ensure appropriate site selection, securement, monitoring, and timely replacement.
