Catheter straps offers an additional level of support for the catheter, positioned either on your leg or abdomen. By securing the tubing in this way it reduces the risk of tension or pulling on the catheter, which could cause some very unpleasant trauma within the bladder or urethra. Positioning the catheter using the catheter strap also ensures the catheter doesn’t twist or kink, which can stop the flow of urine.
