Ugo Fix<br />
Gentle<br />
(catheter clip)<br />
Pioneering gentle<br />
catheter fixation<br />
As specialists in urology, we’ve<br />
spent a lot of time listening to<br />
clinicians and individuals living with<br />
a catheter, allowing us to develop<br />
a range of products that offer<br />
performance, precision and comfort<br />
whilst instilling that all-important<br />
confidence.<br />
At Optimum Medical we understand<br />
that purpose-designed fixation devices<br />
are key in the fight against trauma and<br />
infection caused by natural tension to the<br />
catheter. We also know how delicate skin<br />
can be, this is why we have created a<br />
truly gentle catheter clip.<br />
Introducing the Ugo Fix Gentle<br />
The Ugo Fix Gentle (catheter clip)<br />
provides safe and effective positioning<br />
of two-way indwelling urinary catheters<br />
at the bifurcation of the catheter. Fixing in<br />
place comfortably, it allows you to move<br />
around freely and safely, with reduced<br />
pulling and rubbing on the bladder neck<br />
and urethra.<br />
Why choose the Ugo Fix Gentle over<br />
other catheter clips?<br />
The Gel Pad - The Ugo Fix Gentle<br />
(catheter clip) was created to provide<br />
a gentle yet secure fixation for all<br />
catheter materials, without the need<br />
for preparation. To achieve this it<br />
features a re-adhesive soft silicone gel<br />
pad, ensuring painless removal and<br />
repositioning - leaving no sticky residue<br />
behind! It’s also breathable, showerproof,<br />
and transparent, allowing easy inspection<br />
of the skin underneath. The gel pad can<br />
be worn for up to 7 days of comfortable<br />
fixation.<br />
The Clip - The Ugo Fix Gentle (catheter<br />
clip) also features a silicone bonded<br />
revolving clip to hold the catheter in<br />
place, away from your skin, preventing<br />
trauma and improving comfort. This<br />
allows the catheter to move naturally<br />
with your body to reducing tension. With<br />
it’s easy to open catch and raised arrow<br />
to indicate the direction of catheter<br />
insertion, the Ugo Fix Gentle is easy to<br />
negotiate for users of most abilities.<br />
