Stable-Line® Foley Catheter Stabilization Device

Foley with Cath Critical care clinicians understand the risks associated with Foley catheters: patient discomfort, urethral irritation, meatal erosion, and accidental dislodgement. Many have struggled with ineffective tape and leg-strap securement, but now there is a more effective solution. The Stable-Line Foley catheter stabilization device minimizes these risks by reducing inadvertent catheter movement. Today's innovations are tomorrow's standards.
