StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device FOL0102 for Catheters

What is the Statlock Device For?

 

The Statlock Foley Stabilization Device is primarily used for patients who require Foley catheters for urinary drainage. This includes individuals with conditions such as urinary retention, post-surgical recovery, or chronic illnesses that affect bladder function. It's also invaluable for caregivers and healthcare providers in settings like hospitals, nursing homes, or home care, where securing catheters is crucial for preventing complications like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or tissue trauma. By stabilizing the catheter, this device helps maintain proper hygiene, reduces the risk of infection, and promotes overall patient well-being.

 

- After surgical procedures where a catheter is temporarily needed.

- For long-term management of urinary incontinence or obstruction.

- In critical care units to ensure catheter stability during patient movement.

- At home for elderly or disabled individuals requiring continuous catheter use.

 

 

 

 

Using the Statlock device is straightforward, but it's important to follow these steps carefully to ensure effectiveness and safety. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

 

1. Prepare the Skin: Clean and dry the area where the device will be applied, typically on the thigh or abdomen. Ensure the skin is free from oils, lotions, or moisture to allow the adhesive to stick properly.

2. Open the Package: Remove the Statlock device from its sterile packaging. Handle it with clean hands to maintain hygiene.

3. Position the Catheter: Gently place the Foley catheter tubing into the designated slot on the Statlock device. Make sure the catheter is not twisted or kinked to allow for proper urine flow.

4. Apply the Device: Peel off the backing from the adhesive pad and press the device firmly onto the prepared skin area. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure a secure bond.

5. Secure the Tubing: Use the built-in clip or strap on the Statlock device to loop and secure any excess catheter tubing, preventing tugging or entanglement.

6. Monitor Regularly: Check the device daily for any signs of skin irritation or loosening. Replace it as needed, typically every 5-7 days, or according to your healthcare provider's instructions.

 

- Never apply the device to broken or irritated skin.

- If redness or discomfort occurs, remove the device and consult a doctor.

- Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and your healthcare provider's advice for optimal use.
