Catheter Plug / Drain Tube Cover

Don’t Stop Veterinary Catheter Training at Placement

Leaving a catheter or drain tube's open end exposed, even briefly, creates an opportunity for contamination that has nothing to do with the catheter itself and everything to do with what it's connected to at any given moment. This plug closes that gap during disconnection, transport, or any interval where the line isn't hooked to a collection bag or syringe. It's a low-cost item, but one worth keeping in steady supply — a missing or misplaced plug tends to get improvised around, and improvised closures are exactly the kind of thing that turns a routine catheter case into a urinary tract infection case. Stock it alongside whatever catheter and tray products your practice already carries.
