I use a foley catheter.It is held in place on my leg by a foley statlock catheter stabilization device, model fol0101.A plastic clasp holds the catheter tubing in place to prevent harm or pulling on the indwelling catheter.On numerous occasions the plastic clasp would not hold tight and have to be replaced.It is quite uncomfortable when that happens because the rubber tubing of the catheter is pulling on me.I called foley, inc.And got no answers.The continuous replacement of the stabilization device is time consuming and often requires my home health care provider to come to my home with a new one.This must be costing (b)(6) quite a bit unnecessarily.An online search showed that many patients are having the same problem which seems to happen about 50% of the time.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
