Safe anchoring of catheters

• Anchoring device for percutaneous drainage catheters that are protruding from the patient’s skin in an angle approximately perpendicular to the patient’s skin surface
• The device consists of a skin-side surface with a skin friendly adhesive combined with a specially designed foam block that safely anchors catheters from 5 to 16 French
• Design prevents catheter movement and migration which can enlarge and potentially cause leakage at the exit site
• Soft foam support block can prevent kinking of the catheter
• Transparent hydrocolloid cover allows continuous monitoring of the puncture site and provides efficient protection against contamination

Patient Comfort

• Soft and pliable adhesive carrier offering substantially improved comfort to the patient and reduced need for suturing
• Hydrocolloid has been carefully tested for skin irritation, thus minimising the risk of allergic reaction even when a number of Drain-Guard devices are used consecutively on the same site
• Device design enables greater freedom of movement for the patient  

Ease of Use

The Drain-Guard catheter anchoring device is easy to apply to the patient’s skin and changing of the device may even be carried out by a family member
