UniGrip Catheter & Tube Securement Devices

Keeping a catheter, drain, or feeding tube properly anchored isn't a minor detail — an unsecured line can migrate, tug at the insertion site, or pull free entirely, risking infection, skin trauma, and unplanned tube changes. The UniGrip universal securement device from Bioderm and Medline addresses exactly that concern, holding tubing firmly in place without tape wrapped directly around the skin or the line itself.

What makes UniGrip genuinely useful is its range. The Bioderm UniGrip Universal Securement Device with double strap (large, 4" x 4.75") and the Medline UniGrip Catheter Holder accommodate tubing from roughly 3 to 47 French — covering everything from small drainage lines to larger urinary and feeding catheters. That means a single product handles most of what a home caregiver or facility keeps on hand, rather than stocking a different holder for every French size.

The double-strap design distributes hold across a wider area, reducing the pressure any one point places on fragile skin. Because these are non-sterile devices used on intact skin around the securement site — not at the insertion point — they're appropriate for ongoing daily use and periodic repositioning. Caregivers commonly ask how often to change a securement device: replace it when the adhesive backing loses grip, the skin needs cleaning, or per your clinician's protocol, and always assess the underlying skin at each change.

For anyone managing an indwelling catheter, surgical drain, or NG/PEG line, reliable securement protects both the device and the patient. Explore related supplies in our Urological and Wound Care collections to round out a complete tube-management kit.
