Any holding device that uses adhesive can cause skin breakdown. The nurse removes the device and inspects the skin under it according to facility policy. The drainage bag is not hung to a movable bed part such as the side rail and is always kept lower than the level of the bladder. In the past, catheter care included cleaning the periurethral area with antiseptics. The current recommendation is routine cleansing with plain disposable wipes.
