Abstract
An improved sealant pad for sealing and retaining in place the elastic sheath of a male urinary drainage catheter. The adhesive sealant pad, in addition to being soft, pliable, stretchable, and urine-resistant, is planar (when undeformed), has a distinctive cloverleaf outline, is composed of a material with elastic recovery, and has an oval-shaped opening which, in preparation for application of the pad to a patient, is reformed into generally circular shape.
