CAUTI Prevention Technology

FOLEY CATHETER TRAYS DESIGNED TO FOLLOW THE 2009 CDC GUIDELINE FOR PREVENTION OF CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

• CDC Recommends: If the CAUTI rate is not decreasing after implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce rates of CAUTI, consider using antimicrobial/antiseptic-impregnated catheters. (Category IB)

• CDC Recommends: Properly secure indwelling catheters after insertion to prevent movement and urethral traction. (Category IB)

The Bardex® I.C. Foley Catheter Trays are available with the StatLock® Foley Stabilization Device. The StatLock® Foley device minimizes movement, pistoning, and risk of accidental dislodgement of the Foley catheter.

• CDC Recommends: If urine is needed for examination, aspirate the urine from the needleless sampling port (Category IB)

Bard was the first to introduce the completely needle free EZ-Lok® Urine Sampling Port. The EZ-Lok sample port accepts a luer lock or slip tip syringe.

• CDC Recommends: Maintain a closed drainage system (Category IB) and consider using urinary catheter systems with pre-connected, sealed catheter-tubing junctions. (Category II)

All Bard Foley catheter trays are closed drainage systems and come equipped with tamper evident seals that serve as a reminder to caregivers to keep the system closed.
