A retainer includes a first arcuate wall and a second arcuate wall that together define a channel designed to receive a medical article. The retainer has an open configuration wherein a first end of the first arcuate wall is spaced away from a first end of the second arcuate wall, and a closed configuration wherein the first end of the first arcuate wall is adjacent the first end of the second arcuate wall. A second end of the first arcuate wall opposite the first end of the arcuate wall may be spaced away from the base in the open configuration and pressed against the base in the closed configuration. The retainer also may include a first support and a second support fixed to the base, and a first and second flexible coupling connecting the first and second supports to the first and second arcuate walls.

A suspension tether suspends intravenous medical tubing that extends between a patient and an IV stand, which supports an IV solution source. The suspension tether includes an elongate elastic body member connectable at one end to a hook of the IV stand and connected at the other end to the IV tube(s). The suspension tether facilitates patient mobility by allowing the patient to move about a space relative to the IV stand to a distance near the full length of the IV tubing with lessened risk of pulling the tubing tight, disengaging the IV line, harming the patient, or damaging equipment. More importantly, the suspension tether suspends the IV tubing off the floor, away from the patient's feet and legs and the stand's wheels, so that the patient may roll the IV stand along his/her side while walking around without risk of entanglement of the IV tube or tripping on the IV tube.

A connector system is configured to fluidly connect a nasogastric tube assembly including a lumen and a tube to a medical device. The system includes a connector including: a fitting configured to provide a fluid-tight connection with the medical device; a neck coupled to the fitting, the neck configured to attach to the nasogastric tube assembly; and a body coupled to the neck, the body configured to provide a fluid-tight connection with the nasogastric tube assembly when at least partially inserted within the lumen; and a first tether including a first fastening region defining a first opening configured to receive the neck, a second fastening region defining a second opening configured to couple to the nasogastric tube assembly, and a link coupling the first fastening region to the second fastening region, the link configured to maintain a fixed distance separating the first fastening region from the second fastening region.

A barrier system is provided for use in reducing infections associated with post-operative surgical incision and/or a percutaneous medical device, such as a catheter, that is disposed within the surgical incision. Such a barrier system may include: a barrier device having a skin-contacting surface and a catheter-receiving surface; and an adhesive composition configured for adhering to skin, the barrier device, and/or the catheter so as to form a barrier at or adjacent to an incision in the skin where the catheter is percutaneously inserted through the skin. A tensioning anchor and associated system of two or more tensioning anchors is provided for post-operative wound closure. A method for applying and removing the barrier device and tensioning anchors is also provided.

A clip-holder device for retaining and positioning an IV set tubing, and methods for using and kits including the clip-holder device.

A component useable with one or more tube comprises a body engageable with one or more external surface recesses of the one or more tubes. The component has a pair of jaws extending from the body for gripping an item. The component is configured, such that, in use, in a first orientation of the body relative to the respective tube(s) recesses, the component is movable along a length of the tube(s); and, in a second orientation of the body relative to the respective tube(s) recesses, the component is resistive to movement along a length of the tube(s).

The present disclosure provides a CT device and a method for controlling a CT device. The CT device includes a CT gantry and at least one infusion clip. The CT gantry includes a first end cover and a second end cover opposite to each other. Either or both of a surface of the first end cover and a surface of the second end cover is provided with a guiding rail. One end of each infusion clip is connected to one guiding rail and is slidable along the guiding rail, and the other end of the infusion clip is configured to position an infusion assembly.

An intravenous fluid bag supporting assembly includes a mobile base having a plurality of wheels, a telescoping pole having a lower end connected with the base and an inverted polyhedron structure connected with an upper end of the pole and configured to receive at least one intravenous fluid bag. An adjustable light assembly is arranged on the pole in spaced relation between the inverted polyhedron structure and the base. A support platform is arranged on the pole in spaced relation between the light assembly and the base, the support platform supporting a plurality of housings configured to receive a plurality of displays and pumps or other medical instruments, respectively. A hang grip and basket are also arranged on the pole.

A respiratory airway and intravenous extension system (RAIVES) apparatus includes a female-configured side plate and a male-configured side plate. A connector spring is configured to engage with and to couple together the female-configured side plate and the male-configured side plate. The connector spring provides an inward spring bias to bias a lower portion of the female-configured side plate and a lower portion of the male-configured side plate together into a default closed position. The RAIVES also includes raised guidance elements and a plurality of securing bands for securing a medical extension device to the raised guidance elements.

ET securement devices and methods are provided wherein the ET securement devices generally include two portions: a first portion for securing an ET tube and a second portion for attaching to the patient. The first portion is configured to releasably attach to the second portion to secure the ET tube relative to the patient.
