A device for the removal and insertion of a supra-pubic catheter. The device has a body comprising a contact surface for contacting with a patient's skin, an opposed pressing surface adapted to have pressure applied thereon by a user and a slot extending from a side edge of the body towards the centre thereof, the slot being adapted to receive the tube of the catheter therein, such that when the catheter is inserted in a patient, the tube of the catheter is substantially perpendicular to the patient's abdomen. The contact surface includes a raised portion adapted to compress the patient's skin when said pressure is applied to the pressing surface, which eases the pain and tissue trauma experienced during insertion and removal of the supra-pubic catheter. |
