How to Apply
Ensure the skin is clean and dry (and some hair removal may be necessary to aid adhesion).
Open the Velcro 'lid' and holding both sides, tear down the perforations to split the lid in two sections.
Place the bifurcation crotch of the Foley catheter in the centre of the Grip-Lok and fold half of the Velcro 'lid' down over the catheter and secure onto the other Velcro side. Then, the second half of the lid can be placed in between the bifurcation crotch and secured down onto the Velcro. This then locks the catheter in place.
Remove the backing paper from one side of the Grip-Lok and stick in the desired position. Remove the backing paper from the second side to fully secure the device onto the skin.
To open for inspection/adjustment: Lift the velcro lid, make any necessary adjustments and fold the lid back down.
To remove: Lift the Velcro lids, gently hold the catheter and carefully peel off the Grip-Lok as if you were removing a plaster.
