An Urethral Catheter Holder is a device that has two semicylindric elements hinged with each other by a flexible living hinge on one edge. It has a single non adjustable male and female locking tooth on the other edges opposite to the living hinge. It has a semicylindric rim extension at one end of the device that extends to a diameter larger than said semicylindrical segment. There is a wedge defect at the living hinge side of the rim extension. The defect of the rim extension is covered by the curve extension cover. There is a compressible foam pad lining the surface of the semicylindric element and rim extension. The foam pad on the rim extension is impregnated with antimicrobial agent. When the device is placed in operative position, it forms a lumen inner to the foam pads able to hold and affix the Foley catheter without compromising and distorting the lumen of the catheter and the balloon inflation and deflation tube. It also provides a semi closed housing space for the male external urethral meatus and allows contact between the antimicrobial ointment and said urethral meatus. It reduces the incidence of ascending cather associated urinary tract infection.
