Cath Dry dressings are suitable for a range of catheters - and are often applied by clinicians or nurses at, for example, dialysis or chemotherapy sessions. However Cath Dry dressings can be applied at home - for example, when you have home dialysis or to replace a torn dressing. See our patient information page for detailed instructions. You can also watch these videos, created by Dr Pascal Dabel, nephrologist and inventor of the Cath Dry dressing.

Dr Dabel demonstrates how to apply Cath Dry – techniques useful for clinicians and nurses as well as patients.

Cath Dry dressings have a unique moisture indicator ring. Dr Dabel explains how it works.

Cath Dry, when applied correctly, is robust and designed to stay on the skin for up to 3 days. However, it is also very simple to remove when you follow the right technique.
