FREE Webinar: Innovation in the Prevention of CAUTI CDC Guidelines Alternatives to Catheterization
Unique Removable Sticker

Evaluate Indications

Did you know that there are many alternatives to inserting a Foley catheter? However, when there is a valid indication, it needs to be documented.

  • A unique removable sticker ‘flags’ the clinician to identify if there is a valid clinical reason for the patient to be catheterized.
  • Once confirmed, a checklist is provided to ensure policies and procedures are followed.
Booklet

Read Directions

Did you know that many clinicians have their own variation in process for inserting a Foley catheter?

  • The booklet included provides a clear step by step guide to catheter insertion. Sections include setting up work area, preparing, inserting, securing the catheter/drain bag, documenting the procedure, emptying the drain bag and obtaining a urine sample.
  • All along the way, you’ll find helpful tips to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

Aseptic Technique

Key design solutions lead clinicians through the process and support aseptic technique

Sequencing of kit includes strategic placement of underbuttocks drape to help reduce the risk of contamination. A significantly larger CSR wrap is provided to expand the sterile field. Tray

Revolutionary 1-layer tray design

Intuitive tray and clear labeling leads clinician from one step to the next.

  • Tray includes a lubrication well to place the catheter tip to keep it from moving outside of the sterile field.

SecureSecure Catheter

Did you know that a properly secured Foley catheter will reduce movement and urethral traction?

Foley InserTag™

  • Date and time of the Foley insertion are clearly visible with the yellow “Foley InserTag”.

EducateEducate Patient

Did you know that many patients do not receive education regarding care and maintenance of their Foley catheter?

  • The perforated patient education card is handed to the patient and family to provide information on Foley catheterization and how to reduce the likelihood of an infection.

A new innovative tray design to help change clinical behavior

Medline’s revolutionary patent-pending Foley Catheter Management System features a re-engineered Foley catheter tray that helps to improve the insertion process by incorporating evidence-based solutions which minimizes the risk of urinary catheter-associated infections.

It all starts with education and training

Provider education bridges the gap between inconsistent practice by promoting evidence based practice, based on the guidelines from CDC, Joint Commission, SHEA and APIC.

New VHA Study on ERASE CAUTI Tray

A new VHA case study whitepaper details how Medline used observational studies and context-based design to build human factors and social behaviors into our redesigned Foley Catheter Management tray.
