Most effective way to secure a Foley catheter tube, that I have found
My dad needs these to help key his Foley catheter in place and not get tugged on when the Foley bag moves around a bit.<br /><br />I've tried a lot of products like leg bands to hold the Foley leg bag firmly, but there is still quite a bit of movement if my dad walks, sits down, exercises, etc.<br /><br />So using these is  more secure. They last about 2 weeks.  We dont undo the velcro, we have enough tube to just wiggle out the tube end and replace the bag.<br /><br />The adhesive is pretty strong.<br />When we change the Cath Secure,  we are using Cavilon barrier wipes on his skin before placing the cath-secure (adhesive side in contact with skin). Cavilon is a product meant to protect delicate skin from being irritated by adhesives from babdages needing to be changed often.  I think it prevents skin from growing into the adhesive or bandage or it prevents the adhesive from truly bonding with the skin and the pulling some off (Ewww!).  In any case its really effective. You can find in on Amazon.
