CathGrip Double Strap Removal
Remove and replace CathGrip when the adhesive turns a white color, when it is loose, or when it is time to remove. It is recommended to use adhesive remover to remove CathGrip or use warm water for removal by soaking CathGrip or wrapping a washcloth around the device until the hydrocolloid turns milky white and rolls gently from the skin.
CathGrip Application Tips
- Make sure the patient’s skin is completely dry before applying CathGrip Nonsterile Catheter Securement Device
- Cleansing wipes and Chlorhexidine can cause excess moisture underneath the skin that can reduce CathGrip wear time. Make certain that the application site for CathGrip is as dry and moisture-free as possible, before applying
- Wear time: The first application for each patient will last shorter than the subsequent applications of the product. This is due to the hydrocolloid material that absorbs underlying moisture in the skin. CathGrip can be worn for up to 7 days
- Single-Use: Once removed, dispose of in a trash can. The product is not reusable and could cause product malfunction or risk of infection if reused.

- Unhealed wound at the application site (wait to heal)
