Flip-Flo Urinary Drainage Catheter Valve with 180-Degree Lever Tap
A Flip-Flo Urinary Drainage Catheter Valve is a device used with indwelling urinary catheters to drain urine from the bladder. It consists of a lever tap that controls the flow of urine through the catheter and a valve that can be flipped 180 degrees to either open or close the catheter drainage system.
This type of valve allows for easy and convenient urine drainage, as the catheter does not need to be disconnected from the drainage bag or replaced with a new catheter. The 180-degree lever tap allows for one-handed operation, making it easier for patients who may have limited mobility or dexterity.
When the valve is open, urine can flow freely from the bladder through the catheter and into the drainage bag. When the valve is closed, it prevents urine from leaking out of the catheter, which can be helpful during activities such as bathing or changing the drainage bag.
The Flip-Flo Urinary Drainage Catheter Valve is often used in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings, as well as by individuals who use indwelling urinary catheters at home. It can help patients maintain their dignity and independence while managing their urinary incontinence or retention.
FLIP-FLO Catheter Valve is suitable for a wide range of patients using either urethral or suprapubic catheters. This catheter valve can help to maintain bladder tone and capacity, and the flushing action may also reduce the risk of blockage.
