Additional benefits of the Drake Lock & Swivel

Traditional catheter stabilization devices often fall short in key areas—either causing skin irritation from adhesives or limiting mobility with restrictive straps. The Drake Lock & Swivel changes the game by combining the best of both worlds. We believe that great design starts with the patient in mind. That’s why the Drake Lock & Swivel was engineered to address the key pain points of traditional catheter stabilization devices. Here’s what makes it different:

- Adhesive-Free Security: Say goodbye to harsh adhesives that damage the skin. The silicone strips on our device keep it comfortably and securely in place.

- Swiveling Retainer: Allows free movement without kinking or tugging, giving patients greater mobility and peace of mind.

- Universal Fit: Patented channels securely hold any two-port catheter in either direction, offering unmatched versatility.

- Comfortable Design: The elastic strap is soft, breathable, and reinforced with anti-slip grips, ensuring it stays in place without needing to be overly tight.

- Long-Lasting Durability: Unlike other devices that need frequent replacement, the Drake Lock & Swivel is made to last with regular care.

- Ease of Use: Designed with users in mind, the swivel feature and easy-to-secure retainer make it ideal for individuals with dexterity challenges.

Every feature of the Drake Lock & Swivel was crafted to improve the daily lives of patients and caregivers. It’s more than a medical device—it’s a better way to care.

Reduces the risk of urethral erosion, bladder spasms, and trauma

Indwelling urinary catheters have been described as a cause of urethral erosion and improper securement of a rigid style catheter can be a common cause. Research suggests that negative outcomes associated with urethral and meatal erosions can be prevented by properly securing the indwelling catheter. This is one of the easiest and most effective practices.

Bladder spasms are quite common when you have a catheter in your bladder. The pain is caused by the bladder trying to squeeze out the balloon. With proper stabilization the balloon is secure on one location vs. bouncing around causing irritation and spasms.

The quality of securement directly impacts the functionality and likelihood of a complication for a given catheter. Securement acts as an additional anchor for the infusion set tubing or extension set to reduce the force the primary securement might receive. The importance of a solid secondary securement cannot be over-emphasized as it protects the primary securement and hence the catheter from an accidental dislodgement inflicting trauma.
