Secure, Adjustable Support for Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters
The Peritoneal Dialysis Waist Belt Catheter Protector is designed to help patients keep their peritoneal dialysis catheter stable, protected and comfortably supported throughout daily activities. Combining an adjustable abdominal belt with a soft catheter fixation area, it helps reduce unwanted movement of the catheter while providing gentle back and waist support during routine tasks, rest, or light activity.
Made from soft, breathable nylon, this dialysis conduit protection belt is suitable for everyday wear under clothing. The material is designed to be comfortable against the skin and easy to wash and dry, supporting regular hygiene and ongoing use. The belt is fully adjustable, allowing patients or caregivers to adapt the fit according to individual body shape and preferred catheter position.
Three sizes are available to accommodate a wide range of waist measurements:
• Size S: length about 85 cm / 33 inches
• Size M: length about 105 cm / 41 inches
• Size L: length about 120 cm / 47 inches
The belt is intended for peritoneal dialysis patients in renal medicine who need a practical solution to help secure the catheter during sleeping, bathing (as permitted by medical guidance), restroom visits and everyday living. The soft belt fixator helps keep the catheter in a consistent position, aiming to reduce pulling, accidental tugging and friction around the insertion site. By helping to shield the catheter from external contact, the protector supports efforts to maintain a cleaner, more controlled environment around the access point, in line with clinical hygiene practices recommended by healthcare professionals.

- Helps stabilize the peritoneal dialysis catheter to reduce accidental pulling and displacement during daily activities.
- Adjustable, soft nylon belt designed for comfortable, breathable wear under clothing over extended periods.
- Supports everyday catheter care by helping protect the insertion area from direct contact and friction, complementing medical infection-control routines.
