For decades, catheter and nephrostomy tube securement has relied on tape, straps, and other passive solutions. Yet catheter movement remains a major contributor to complications including catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), urethral trauma, accidental dislodgement, and costly hospital readmissions.

At WHX Miami, we're displaying a different approach.

Visit Cathetrix and TubeX to discover how our innovative securement technologies are designed to actively protect patients from accidental traction and tube dislodgement:

- Foley-Safe - Advanced Foley catheter securement with a unique safety-disconnection mechanism designed to prevent traumatic catheter extractions.

- Nephro-Safe - A dedicated nephrostomy tube stabilization solution designed to reduce the risk of accidental tube displacement and related complications.

Whether you're a urologist, interventional radiologist, distributor, hospital procurement leader, or healthcare innovator, we'd love to meet you and discuss how active securement can help improve patient safety.

Foley catheter removal is more than a routine complication. It is a patient safety issue that can lead to trauma, bleeding, infection, and delays in care.

For Operating Room and Surgical Nursing leaders, the risk is especially important during positioning, transfers, and post-operative recovery, when patients are often at higher risk for accidental traction or unintended removal.

Most Foley catheter complications don’t start with infection, they start with movement. Accidental self-extraction can lead to trauma, bleeding, longer stays, and avoidable costs. That’s why prevention matters.

Hablemos de un desafío silencioso en la atención al paciente: la fijación del catéter.

Cuando las cintas estándar o las correas básicas fallan, los pacientes se enfrentan a riesgos reales, desde infecciones dolorosas (ITU asociadas al catéter) hasta el trauma de una extracción accidental.

En Cathetrix y TubeX, creemos que los profesionales sanitarios y los pacientes merecen soluciones mejores y más seguras. Por eso estaremos en la World Health Expo (WHX) 2026 en Miami este junio (del 17 al 19), donde presentaremos nuestras innovadoras tecnologías de estabilización inteligente:

✳️ Foley-Safe: Más que un simple adhesivo. Estabiliza el catéter hasta por 14 días, absorbe los micromovimientos cotidianos para reducir el riesgo de infecciones y cuenta con un sistema de liberación de seguridad único para prevenir lesiones en la vejiga y la uretra en caso de tracción.

✳️ Nephro-Safe: Un sistema específico de doble capa que mantiene los tubos de nefrostomía exactamente donde deben estar, evitando a los pacientes el estrés y el dolor de extracciones inesperadas y las costosas reinserciones.

¿Le interesa llevar estas innovaciones a su región? Buscamos activamente colaborar con distribuidores médicos especializados en Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos.
