APPLICATION VIDEO
You’ve applied the UniGrip. Congrats!
Now we’re going to share some practical tips to make sure you get the wear time you need!
TIPS TO MAKE YOUR UNIGRIP LAST!

When cleaning the patient, leave a one inch
space around the hydrocolloid. Contact with
cleansing wipes, bath in a bag products, lotions
or creams will result in early dislodgement of the
securement device.
Make sure to wipe the entire application site with BioPlus+ and allow it to dry completely.

HOW TO REMOVE
SAMPLE EVALUATION FORMS
This form can be changed to meet your needs
if you have other targets to measure.
QUESTION #1
• How can I prevent the straps from sticking up?
• Feed the long strap through the second hole in the hole strap to make it lay down
• Cut off excess •
QUESTION #2
• Why does the hydrocolloid get wrinkled when worn?
• The hydrocolloid conforms to the skin like a second skin. It is supposed to wrinkle and stretch with
the skin.
• Wrinkles show the device is working properly and providing a comfortable wear experience for the
patient. Wrinkles fade within minutes of removal.
QUESTION #3
• Don’t you have to warm hydrocolloid to make it stick?
• Not our formulation. CathGrip’s initial tack on dry skin is sufficient to eliminate special warming
techniques.
• The patient’s skin will warm the adhesive and increase the hold over the first few hours.
