Statlock Foley Stabilization Device, manufactured by Bard, are designed to secure foley catheters in place without a leg strap. These are a good alternative to strapping a catheter holder on the leg, because of the unique anchor pad design. The StatLock Latex-free anchor pad is easy to secure to the skin, preventing slipping. Anchor pads are much safer and easier to use than sutures. These anchor pads are air permeable to reduce skin irritation.
The StatLock retainer device attaches to the anchor pads securing the catheter in place. The retainer device holds the catheter using transparent gull wings. To use the StatLock Stabilization Device, simply lift the wings, place the catheter inside, and then close the wings over the catheter.
This process is much safer and simpler than securing with sutures. The Bard StatLock Foley Catheter Stabilization Device can turn on its axis 360 degrees. This is significant, because the extra movement can help to prevent accidental pulling or removal of catheters. The StatLock Catheter Holder fits most silicone or latex foley catheters.
