Statlock Catheter Stabilization Device

Why Choose StatLock Catheter Stabilization Device

Catheter dislodgement and accidental removal are among the most common and preventable catheter management complications. Standard tape-based securement fails progressively as adhesion degrades with moisture, skin oil, and patient movement — the catheter migrates, tubing pulls at the insertion site, and in the worst case the catheter is partially or fully dislodged. Suture fixation avoids migration but introduces tissue trauma at placement, infection risk at the suture site, and pain on removal. StatLock provides a third option: an adhesive anchor pad that adheres to the periwound or periurethral skin and a locking retainer that mechanically holds the catheter tubing in a fixed orientation without sutures or tape-wrapped tubing. The retainer design allows controlled swivel movement in applicable Foley configurations — preventing the fulcrum effect where patient movement translates directly into catheter tugging force at the insertion or meatal contact point. Available configurations across Foley, PICC, central venous, arterial, dialysis, drainage, and multipurpose applications — the correct model must be matched to the catheter type and tubing diameter before dispensing. Some Foley versions are latex-free. Follow manufacturer instructions and clinical care plan.

Key Features

✔ Adhesive anchor pad for skin placement without sutures or tape

✔ Locking retainer mechanically secures catheter tubing in fixed orientation

✔ Reduces catheter movement, migration, and accidental dislodgement

✔ Swivel design available in applicable Foley configurations for patient movement tolerance

✔ Available for Foley, PICC, central venous, arterial, dialysis, drainage, and multipurpose

✔ Some Foley versions latex-free — confirm by model before dispensing

✔ Match correct model to catheter type and tubing size before use

Benefits

✔ Provides more reliable catheter securement than tape-based fixation

✔ Eliminates suture-site trauma, infection risk, and pain associated with sutured fixation

✔ Reduces catheter-related pulling and insertion-site irritation

✔ Swivel configurations reduce force transmission to insertion site during patient movement

✔ Supports cleaner, more organised catheter tubing positioning in clinical and home care

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Foley catheter securement in hospital, long-term care, and home care settings

✔ PICC line and central venous catheter stabilisation in clinical environments

✔ Arterial line and dialysis catheter securement during active treatment

✔ Drainage catheter stabilisation during post-surgical recovery

✔ Any catheter application where suture-free, tape-free securement is clinically indicated

Usage & Care

Select the correct StatLock model for the catheter type and tubing diameter — using an incorrect model compromises securement effectiveness. Clean and dry the application skin site before placing the adhesive anchor pad. Secure the catheter tubing in the retainer following the model-specific locking instructions. Change the StatLock device per the manufacturer's recommended replacement schedule or when adhesion is compromised. Follow the patient's clinical care plan and institutional catheter management protocol. For home care use, ensure the caregiver or patient has received appropriate instruction from a qualified healthcare professional before applying.
