The Ugo Box Connect

The Ugo Box Connect is a fully equipped and pre-connected catheterisation kit, containing everything needed to safely remove and insert a transurethral catheter, following best practice aseptic catheterisation technique.

There are 12 variations of The Ugo Box Connect, each with a choice of Ugo Connect Foley catheter kit, Economy Foley Tray [with pre-connected bag] and catheterisation jelly. The Ugo Box Connect gives you, the clinician, the option to select the best catheterisation kit for your patient.

According to the European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN) the main benefits of using urinary catheterisation kits are:

The standardisation of the process: adherence to urinary catheter insertion recommendations.
The inclusion in the kit/set of pre-connected and sealed urinary catheter systems, the components of which are linked by seals, will ensure that the system remains closed at all times, eliminating the risk of the “human factor” and ensuring adherence to the recommendation.
Nursing staff efficiency: more quality time for patient care.
Reduction in CAUTI, reduction in the consumption of antibiotics and the costs associated with such consumption, and the prevention of antibiotic resistance.
