How to use StatLock Stabilization Device?

Application Procedure:

• Preparation:
  • Place Foley catheter into the retainer. The directional arrow should point towards catheter tip, and the balloon inflation arm should be next to the clamp hinge
  • Close lid by placing your fingers under the pad and pressing the grip markers at the end of the clamp with your thumb, being careful to avoid pinching the catheter
  • Identify proper securement site by gently laying the StatLock Foley catheter securement device straight on the front of the thigh, then back up one inch towards the insertion site. Make sure leg is fully extended. Gently place the StatLock pediatric Foley stabilization device off to the side, away from the selected securement site.
  • Cleanse and de-grease securement site with alcohol. Let skin dry. Be sure to clean area larger than securement site.
  • Apply skin protectant in direction of hair growth, to an area larger than securement site. Allow drying completely (10-15 seconds)
  • Using a permanent marker, write initials and date of application on StatLock anchor pad
  
  NOTE: Always secure catheter into the StatLock stabilization device retainer before applying adhesive pad on the skin


• Place and Peel:
  • Align the device over securement site, leaving one inch of catheter slack between insertion site and the device retainer. Make sure leg is fully extended
  • While holding the retainer to keep the pad in place, peel away paper backing, one side at a time, and place tension-free on the skin

Removal Procedure:

• Disengage:
  • Open retainer by pressing release button with thumb, then gently lift to open
  • Remove Foley catheter
• Dissolve:
  • Wipe the edge of the pad using at least 5-6 alcohol pads until a corner lifts. Then continue to stroke undersurface of the pad, in a back-and-forth motion, by squeezing the alcohol out to dissolve the adhesive pad away from the skin.
  • Do not pull or force pad to remove
