Reduces the risk of urethral erosion, bladder spasms, and trauma

Indwelling urinary catheters have been described as a cause of urethral erosion and improper securement of a rigid style catheter can be a common cause. Research suggests that negative outcomes associated with urethral and meatal erosions can be prevented by properly securing the indwelling catheter. This is one of the easiest and most effective practices.

Bladder spasms are quite common when you have a catheter in your bladder. The pain is caused by the bladder trying to squeeze out the balloon. With proper stabilization the balloon is secure on one location vs. bouncing around causing irritation and spasms.

The quality of securement directly impacts the functionality and likelihood of a complication for a given catheter. Securement acts as an additional anchor for the infusion set tubing or extension set to reduce the force the primary securement might receive. The importance of a solid secondary securement cannot be over-emphasized as it protects the primary securement and hence the catheter from an accidental dislodgement inflicting trauma.

Complete freedom to move around without pulling the Foley catheter

Indwelling catheters are restrictive and confining. Yet, the importance of a solid secondary securement cannot be over-emphasized because it prevents inflicting trauma. For the user, this necessary securement causes even more restriction and confinement. The swiveling retainer allows patients to, bend, twist, stretch, and be active without pulling on the catheter. Providing securement, comfort, and freedom to the user.
