Cathetrix to Launch Nephro-Safe and Foley-Safe at MEDICA 2025
Cathetrix, a leader in catheter stabilization technologies, is set to redefine patient care with the introduction of two groundbreaking products, Nephro-Safe and Foley-Safe, at the upcoming MEDICA 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Scheduled from November 17-20, this impressive unveiling will take place at Booth J35 in Hall 16.
Introducing Nephro-Safe
Nephro-Safe, developed by Cathetrix's new sister company TubeX, is the most advanced stabilizer designed specifically for patients with nephrostomy tubes. This innovative device features a dual-layer protection system that prioritizes patient comfort and safety, addressing some of the typical challenges faced by nephrostomy patients.
Features of Nephro-Safe:
- - Secure Anchoring Mechanism: A specialized adhesive patch with optional suturing holes secures the nephrostomy tube to the patient's back, ensuring optimal stability without causing movement-related disturbances.
- - Smart Anti-Slide Technology: The unique shell of Nephro-Safe absorbs body movements, significantly reducing the risk of infection and discomfort associated with accidental dislodgment of the tube.
This launch signifies a major advancement in patient care, providing peace of mind to millions who depend on nephrostomy tubes every year.
Introducing Foley-Safe
Alongside Nephro-Safe, Cathetrix will also present Foley-Safe, the world’s first Foley catheter stabilizer designed with active protection. Over the last sixty years, traditional Foley catheters have relied on a retention balloon system within the bladder, a method associated with a range of complications including infections and discomfort. Foley-Safe innovatively redefines how these catheters are secured.
Features of Foley-Safe:
- - Fixation System: A robust adhesive patch maintains catheter stability externally, preventing any movements from the urine collection bag from affecting the urinary system. The patch's endurance lasts for an impressive 14 days without needing replacement.
- - Anti-Slide Smart Mechanism: This feature absorbs minor movements and alleviates stress on the catheter. As a result, it significantly lowers the risk of urinary tract infections (CAUTIs).
- - Disconnection Feature: A cutting mechanism allows for a smooth disconnection of the catheter in cases of sudden forceful pulls, thus enabling safe removal without risk.
Enhancing Patient Safety
The introduction of both Nephro-Safe and Foley-Safe represents a commitment by Cathetrix to better the lives of patients relying on catheterization. Tal Hadass, Chief Marketing Officer at Cathetrix, emphasized the importance of these innovations: "Millions of patients worldwide rely on Foley and nephrostomy catheters every year. With Foley-Safe and Nephro-Safe, we offer advanced, multi-layered protection that dramatically improves patient safety and quality of life."
The company invites healthcare professionals, hospital decision-makers, and potential distributors to visit their booth at MEDICA to learn more about these revolutionary products and explore future collaborations. The advancements presented at MEDICA are a testament to Cathetrix’s dedication to enhancing patient care and improving the quality of life for those dependent on catheter systems.
In conclusion, as Cathetrix unveils Nephro-Safe and Foley-Safe, the healthcare industry takes a significant step forward in patient safety and comfort. The solutions are designed not just to enhance the functionality of catheter systems but to ensure dignity and quality of life for patients everywhere.
