Urethral Catheter Fixation Device,C0309 Type,Procedure of Use
Urethral Catheter Fixation Device
Function
Prevent displacement and dislodgement: It can stably fix the urinary catheter in an appropriate position, preventing it from moving or coming out within the urethra, and ensuring that the urinary catheter can continuously and effectively perform functions such as draining urine.
Reduce the risk of infection: It reduces the damage to the urethral mucosa caused by the movement and friction of the urinary catheter, lowers the probability of urinary system infections. At the same time, it also prevents bacteria from entering the body along the gap between the urinary catheter and the urethra.
Types
Tape fixation type: Usually, it is a strip of adhesive tape that can be directly pasted on the patient's lower abdomen or the inner side of the thigh skin to fix the urinary catheter in an appropriate position. This type is easy to use and has a low cost. However, due to sweating, sebum secretion on the skin, etc., the stickiness may decrease, and it needs to be replaced regularly.
Buckle strap fixation type: Generally, it is composed of a soft strap and a buckle. The strap is looped around the thigh or waist, and the urinary catheter is fixed in an appropriate position through the buckle. The tightness can be adjusted, which is suitable for patients of different body types. It has a relatively firm fixation and causes relatively little irritation to the skin.
Adhesive fixation bracket type: Most of them are made of plastic or silicone materials with certain elasticity and shape. One side has adhesiveness and can be pasted on the skin, and the other side has a special slot or fixing ring for fixing the urinary catheter. It can provide a relatively stable fixation effect and is convenient for observing and nursing the skin around the urinary catheter.
Safety pin fixation type: The urinary catheter is fixed to the patient's clothes or bed sheets through a safety pin. The fixation method is relatively simple, but attention should be paid to avoid the safety pin from injuring the skin. It is generally suitable for patients with short-term indwelling urinary catheters.
Usage Method
Preparation work: Before inserting the urinary catheter, ensure that the urinary catheter has been lubricated to reduce discomfort during insertion, and prepare a suitable urethral catheter fixation device.
Insert the urinary catheter: Insert the urinary catheter into the urethra according to the doctor's instructions until urine flows out. Ensure that the urinary catheter is fully inserted to avoid urine leakage.
Install the fixation device: Once the urinary catheter is in place, install it according to the type of the fixation device. For the tape fixation type, the tape should be smoothly pasted in the predetermined position; for the buckle strap fixation type, loop the strap around and fasten the buckle; for the adhesive fixation bracket type, accurately paste it on the skin and fix the urinary catheter; for the safety pin fixation type, carefully pass the safety pin through the clothes or bed sheets to fix the urinary catheter.
Test the fixation effect: After the fixation is completed, gently pull the urinary catheter to ensure that the fixation device can effectively prevent the urinary catheter from being accidentally pulled out.
Precautions
Regular inspection: Medical staff need to regularly check the status of the fixation device, including the stickiness of the tape, the tightness of the buckle strap, the safety of the safety pin, etc., as well as the position of the urinary catheter. If there are situations such as looseness or displacement, adjust or replace it in a timely manner.
Skin care: Pay attention to the skin condition at the fixation site to prevent skin damage caused by compression, friction, or allergic reactions of the fixation device to the skin. If there are situations such as redness, itching, or damage, deal with them in a timely manner. If necessary, change the fixation method or the fixation site.
Keep clean: Keep the fixation device and the urinary catheter clean, and avoid contamination of the fixation device by urine, secretions, etc., which increases the risk of infection. Regularly clean or replace the fixation device.
