Cathetrix and TubeX at WHX 2026
Cathetrix and TubeX, leaders in catheter stabilization technology, are set to uncover their latest advancements at the upcoming World Health Expo, scheduled to take place from June 17-19, 2026, in vibrant Miami, Florida. With a steadfast commitment to enhancing patient safety and reducing clinical complications, these companies will showcase significant innovations designed to meet the heightened demands of the U.S. healthcare system.
Innovations in Catheter Securement
At the expo, the spotlight will be on two flagship products:
Foley-Safe and
Nephro-Safe. Each of these state-of-the-art devices is created to increase catheter securement precision, thereby preventing accidental extraction and promoting overall patient safety.
Foley-Safe
Foley-Safe is a pioneering device designed specifically for Foley catheters. Its primary goal is to limit catheter movement, which is crucial for lowering the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and accidental dislodgments.
The design boasts a simple yet effective approach:
- - External Securement: Utilizing a cleverly crafted adhesive platform, it stabilizes the catheter and separates the urinary system from the movements of the collection bag. The medical-grade adhesive maintains its strength for up to 14 days.
- - Movement Control: This technology is adept at absorbing micro-movements, significantly diminishing stress on the catheter, and consequently reducing irritation and the chances of infection.
- - Safety Disconnection: In the event of an accidental tug, Foley-Safe ensures a controlled disconnection, minimizing risks of injury.
The multi-faceted approach of Foley-Safe promotes better clinical outcomes by sustaining catheter stability, reducing unnecessary movement, and minimizing avoidable complications that often occur during treatment.
Nephro-Safe
In addition to Foley-Safe, Cathetrix and TubeX will unveil Nephro-Safe, tailored specifically for nephrostomy care. This product introduces a dual-layer system that mitigates the risk of tube dislodgement, a common issue that can lead to significant health complications. By preventing accidental extraction of the tube, Nephro-Safe plays a pivotal role in protecting kidney health and avoiding the costly procedure of tube reinsertion.
Commitment to Patient Safety
According to Tal Hadass, CMO at Cathetrix and TubeX, “The U.S. healthcare system sets an incredibly high standard for both infection prevention and patient safety. Our innovative solutions are designed to rise to this challenge by emphasizing securement, stabilization, and minimal movement.” This dedication to patient-centric design comes at a crucial time, as the demand for reliable catheter securement solutions continues to escalate, giving distributors a unique opportunity to integrate differentiated products that effectively tackle these pressing healthcare challenges.
