Flexi-Seal® PROTECT Fecal Management System
Flexi-Seal® PROTECT Fecal Management System (FMS) is an indwelling fecal management catheter intended for use to manage fecal incontinence through the collection of liquid to semi-liquid stool and to provide access to administer medications. Flexi-Seal® PROTECT FMS features the PROTECT indicator, our unique over inflation warning system and a patented blue finger pocket for easy and accurate placement of the soft silicone retention balloon.
- Blue finger pocket allows easy and accurate placement of the soft silicone retention balloon
- Proven in vitro to contain C. difficile and its spread into the environment1
- Odour barrier runs the full length of the catheter, providing an end-to-end odour barrier2
- The blue sampling port allows safe and easy stool collection helping minimize the risk of fecal exposure
- Contains Privacy™ Collection Bag with APS filter with 6x more odour-capturing capabilities compared to the charcoal filtered collection bags.3 This filter also eliminates the need of manually releasing the excess gas from the collection bag4
