What is a Catheter Plug?

A catheter plug or adapter is a small cylinder-shaped piece of plastic that is inserted into the drainage tubing of the urinary bladder catheter, also called a Foley catheter. Inserting a catheter plug into the opening of the drainage tubing prevents urine from leaking out of the Foley catheter. The plug is used on occasions when the urine drainage bag may need to be removed, such as during bathing, showering, and some physical activities.

Many plugs feature ridges on the surface area of the plug, enabling the patient to grasp it more securely for easier installation and removal of the small plastic piece. Some are packaged with a separate cover to protect the drainage tube and urine collection bag, while other plugs have a built-in design that enables it to function as a plug or cover. At HPFY, we provide high-quality Catheter Plugs from brands like Bard Inc., and Medline Industries, to name a few. You can explore our wide collection of catheter valves and plugs and pick your best one.

Catheter Plugs

Bard Catheter Plug obstructs the drainage lumen on foley catheters while the catheter is detached from the drainage bag or bottle. The cap ensures touchless removal of the plug. The plugs and caps are packaged separately in a peel-back wrapping, which prevents you from having to touch them prior to use. This product is sterile and latex-free.

Urinary Catheter Valve

The urinary catheter valve is a small tap or switch-like device that fits directly into the catheter instead of a leg bag. When the lever of the valve faces upward, the urine is stored in the bladder, which is also your natural bag. The urinary catheter valve can be used for Urethral Catheters.

The Penile Clamp is designed for effective control of enuresis (bed wetting), dribbling of urine, or stress incontinence that occurs when straining, coughing, or lifting things. Bard Penis Clamp permits the user to achieve the proper pressure to prevent urine leakage without discomfort. This male incontinence clamp is available in juvenile, regular, and large sizes.
