A patient’s catheter can be quickly and easily placed into the pocket. Each CathGuard™ pocket has its own self-adhesive strips for attaching the pocket to the patient’s skin. CathGuard™ adhesive strips are designed to attach the pocket securely to the patient, yet make the pocket easy to remove without causing discomfort for the patient.

What Is CathGuard™

CathGuard™ is a protective catheter pocket designed to safeguard and support external central line catheters between dialysis treatments. It provides a soft, water‑resistant fabric pocket that holds the catheter securely against the patient’s skin while offering comfort and protection. Rather than using tape, gauze, or improvised covers, CathGuard™ simplifies catheter management during off‑dialysis periods.

The purpose of CathGuard™ is to help immobilize the catheter, reduce irritation at the surgical insertion site, and maintain a clean environment around catheter lumens and caps. Its gentle adhesive strips allow secure attachment while minimizing discomfort upon removal, making it both patient‑ and staff‑friendly.

Key Features & Benefits of CathGuard™

Soft, Comfortable Protection

CathGuard™ is made from soft, water‑resistant fabric that provides a gentle yet effective barrier around the exterior catheter tubing — helping protect the catheter and the insertion site between treatment sessions.

Reduces Mess and Improves Hygiene

By eliminating the need for tape, gauze, or bulky dressings, CathGuard™ offers a clean, organized solution for catheter management that helps keep the catheter clean and reduces the potential for contamination.

Easy to Use

Each CathGuard™ pocket includes self‑adhesive backing strips that securely attach the product to the patient’s skin. The catheter simply slides into the pocket, and the adhesive holds it in place without excessive discomfort when removed.

Enhanced Comfort & Reduced Trauma

CathGuard™ helps immobilize the catheter, which may lessen pulling, irritation, and trauma at the catheter site. The product’s flat profile is more comfortable for patients and can improve the overall experience during periods between dialysis treatments.

Supports Infection Control Practices

By keeping the catheter in a protected environment, CathGuard™ may help reduce exposure to external contaminants that can contribute to infection risk when not in use, supporting broader clinic hygiene and patient safety protocols.

CathGuard™ is a cost‑effective and patient‑approved accessory that enhances catheter care, comfort, and cleanliness for individuals undergoing chronic dialysis.
