CATHETER MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTINENCE CARE

Abstract

A positioning device with a wedge shape includes a channel on the underside configured to accommodate a fecal management catheter to prevent leaks and improve waste containment. The underside may include a first material for contact with the bed surface, and the channel may comprise a second material which is different from the first material and which is non-stick. The positioning device prevents back flow and leakage of contents onto patient/bed which can result if a catheter is blocked.
