Clinical Summary: The BD StatLock™ Universal Plus Stabilization Device is a suture-free, skin-safe securement system for percutaneous drainage catheters ranging from 6Fr to 16Fr, including biliary, nephrostomy, and peritoneal lavage catheters. The device employs a releasable polymer clamp mechanism paired with a latex-free hydrocolloid anchor pad to eliminate catheter migration and associated complications without the tissue trauma of suture fixation. Replacement is indicated every 7 days or when clinically prompted by anchor pad integrity or adhesion failure.

Product Overview

The BD StatLock™ Universal Plus Stabilization Device (Becton, Dickinson and Company) provides reliable, non-suture securement for percutaneous drainage catheters. Indicated in biliary drainage, nephrostomy care, peritoneal lavage, and interventional radiology drainage applications where catheter stability is critical to clinical outcomes. It eliminates the infection risk and patient discomfort associated with conventional suture fixation while providing equivalent or superior catheter retention force.

Community Consensus: Clinical Q&A

Q: How does suture-free securement compare to traditional suture fixation for percutaneous catheters?
A: StatLock-type securement devices reduce catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) risk by eliminating the suture tract as a microbial migration entry point. Suture fixation is associated with tissue necrosis at puncture sites in long-term catheters; suture-free devices remove this complication vector. The Infusion Nurses Society (INS) recommends engineered securement devices as the preferred method for vascular access and drainage catheter stabilization.

Q: Which StatLock Universal Plus size for a 10Fr nephrostomy tube?
A: A 10Fr nephrostomy tube falls in the Medium size range (10–12Fr), colour code blue (REF VUPD1012). Size selection is based on the outer catheter diameter at the skin exit site. An undersized clamp risks inadequate grip; an oversized clamp may allow catheter migration.

Q: What is the recommended dressing change protocol?
A: Monitor the anchor pad daily for adhesion integrity, moisture accumulation, and skin breakdown. Replace the full device every 7 days or sooner if the pad lifts, becomes saturated, or skin condition requires intervention. The catheter clamp can be released without disturbing catheter position during replacement.

Q: Is the BD StatLock Universal Plus suitable for paediatric patients?
A: The Small size (6–8.5Fr) is most appropriate for paediatric percutaneous drainage. Anchor pad adhesion should be assessed carefully in neonatal and infant skin due to MARSI (medical adhesive-related skin injury) risk. A hydrocolloid pre-dressing may be applied beneath the anchor pad per institutional protocol.

Q: Can it be used with malecot-style retention catheters?
A: The Universal Plus is designed for straight-lumen percutaneous drainage catheters. Malecot, mushroom-tip, and pigtail catheters may require a device-specific securement solution. Verify catheter compatibility with the BD product datasheet before use.
