Mr. Lanre Kelani, BSN,RN,DIP, inventor of the Keletrap, earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Wales, in Cardiff, UK.  He has worked in both the classroom and clinical areas for many years.  He is currently the RN field supervisor for Nationwide Healthcare Services based in Miami, Florida.

The medical field is continuously growing, developing and improving.

But the rate of secondary acquisition of disease and infection amongst its inpatients has grown and developed even further.

“Cleanliness is next to godliness,” the old saying goes.  But in hospitals and other health environments, the state of sanitary cleanliness can at times be almost devilish.  These environments serve those with sickness, and such sickness can be unintentionally and unwontedly made accessible in these health facilities.

Catheters, for example, are frequently used tools in the care of many patients.  But these devices need immediate, sanitary and contained storage.  Without such, their purpose of health improvement may be defeated, and the medical environment may wind up contaminated.  And that’s why the Kelatrap needs to be implemented within these environments.

The Kelatrap is a prophylactic storage device for catheters and other medical tools, and consists of a polystyrene body that can be mounted upon a wall or other level surface by bracket.   Its top portion is torus-shaped and features a soft, elastomer lining capable of sterilization, and through this top may a catheter be inserted and sanitarily stored and drained.

An opening on the side of the Kelatrap allows fluids that drain from an inserted catheter to be removed, and a separate reservoir compartment within the main body could also be featured to store a catheter rinse solution.

The Kelatrap ensures that commonly used medical tools can be stored safely, securely and sanitarily.  And by doing so, healthcare environments can more properly maintain their operating principles of health.
