Description
Key Features
"Add-A-Cath" Design: A key aspect of this product is that it does not include the catheter itself. This gives the healthcare provider the flexibility to choose the specific catheter (based on size, material, etc.) that is best for the patient, and then use this standardized kit for the rest of the procedure.
Comprehensive Contents: The kit includes all the items needed for a safe and sterile catheter insertion. The contents are usually packed in a two-layer tray to keep everything organized and to help maintain a sterile environment. The kit typically contains:
A prep tray with separate compartments
Wrapped gloves (often latex-free)
Povidone-iodine swabsticks for preparing the skin
A waterproof underpad
A drape with an opening
Lubricating jelly
A container for a urine specimen with a label
A sterile wrap to cover the kit
A 2000 mL drain bag with a special valve to stop urine from flowing back
A sterile water syringe (10 mL) to inflate the catheter's balloon.
Sterile and Latex-Free: The entire tray is sterile to prevent infections. It's also made without natural rubber latex, which makes it safe for patients with latex allergies.
Convenient Packaging: The items are arranged in a two-layer system that is easy for medical professionals to use, helping them follow proper infection control practices.
Uses
The Medline DYND11090 is used in various healthcare environments, including hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. Its main uses are:
Foley Catheter Insertion: It is a professional-grade kit used to insert a Foley catheter into a patient's bladder for urinary drainage, ensuring a sterile process.
Improving Sterile Technique: Because the kit is pre-packaged and organized, it helps healthcare providers maintain a sterile field, which is vital for preventing urinary tract infections.
Streamlining Procedures: By putting all the necessary supplies in one ready-to-use kit, it saves time and effort for medical staff, leading to a more efficient and safe procedure.
Medical Training: While this specific kit is for patient use, similar Medline trays are also used in educational settings to teach medical students and nurses how to perform catheterization correctly.
