It is important to use the CliniSure catheter retaining strap as instructed by your healthcare professional and ensure that you (or your carer) can fit and change the strap regularly.
Ensure you wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling your catheter or leg bag. Before securing the catheter and/or tubing, place the strap around the leg or abdomen, ensuring the silicone lines are facing the skin. Ensure the strap is secure, but not too tight that it prevents normal blood circulation.
Step 1
- Position the CliniSure clasp over the tubing.
- Wrap the CliniSure clasp around and under the tubing.
Step 2
- Push the tapered end of the CliniSure clasp through the eyelet.
Step 3
- Pull the CliniSure clasp to gently tighten around the tube.
- Pull the CliniSure clasp up and over to the opposite side, then press the tapered end into place, securing it on the main strap.
Why do I need to secure my catheter or leg bag tubing?
A catheter securement device such as the CliniSure catheter retaining strap or CliniFix are used to help prevent trauma to your urethra from inadvertent tube movement. This can be very painful and create a high risk of infection.
How do I choose the right size?
Using a measuring tape, measure around where you intend to wear the strap (either leg or abdomen). Once you have the desired length, cut the strap to the correct size by measuring from the bottom of the elastic on the strap.
Can I reuse the strap?
Yes, the CliniSure catheter retaining strap can be washed at 60oC and reused. There are 5 straps provided in each box to enable you to rotate wear.
How can I dispose of the strap?
The strap can be disposed of in material recycling or general waste.
