Endotracheal tube holding device
Endotracheal tube holders having bottom surface including protrusions that contact the endotracheal tube, and a strap that wraps around the bottom surface and the tube to secure the endotracheal tube to the tube holder.
Bridle Delivery System Having Retrieval Probe with Flexible Distal Tip
A retrieval probe for insertion of a bridle into a nasal passageway of a patient is provided. The retrieval probe includes a proximal end and a distal end, a catheter between the proximal end and the distal end, an inner core within a lumen of the catheter, and a magnetic tip disposed at the proximal end. The catheter includes a hollow section disposed between the magnetic portion and a distal end of the stiff inner core. The hollow section may be flexible and can be configured to bend at an angle of about 180 degrees. The system for securing a nasal tube can include a bridle having a magnetic connection portion; and a retrieval probe as described above. The magnetic connection portion of the bridle and the magnetic tip of the retrieval probe can be configured to magnetically couple during a procedure for inserting the bridle in a nasal passageway of a patient.
ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE APPARATUS AND METHODS
An endotracheal tube apparatus according to an example of this disclosure includes a brace for attachment to a patient's face, a support extending from the brace and including a groove for receiving an endotracheal tube. A clamp surrounds the support and the endotracheal tube. The clamp is comprised of a polymeric material
Fixation devices for catheters
Fixation devices are disclosed herein that can be used to secure to a catheter and to tissue. The fixation devices include a body having a bore extending therethrough to receive a catheter. The fixation devices can also include suture openings or grooves to secure the devices to tissue.
MEDICAL ORGANIZATION APPARATUS
Medical apparatuses and medical systems may implement a channel component according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure. A channel component may include channels (e.g., a sequence or row of channels formed by base components and top components), such that cords and tubes may be inserted through the channels and efficiently organized/managed by medical professionals. For instance, an apparatus may include at least a base component, a top component, and a sheath component. The sheath component may be secured over tubes and cords of varying sizes, and the sheath component may then be secured between the base component and the top component. In some examples, multiple base components may be connected together, providing possible configuration of multiple channels when combined with additional top components/sheath components.
Securement device having an integral strap and dressing
A securement device for securing a catheter includes a retainer, a strap, a first anchor pad and a second anchor pad, a gap separating an edge of the first anchor pad from an adjacent edge of the second anchor pad. The retainer can include a first base member secured to an upper surface of the first anchor pad, a second base member secured to an upper surface of the second anchor pad, and a body coupled to the first and second base members. The body can include a portion spanning the gap separating the first anchor pad from the second anchor pad. The portion of the body can include an open channel through an upper surface of the body, the open channel aligned with the gap. The body can further include a first securement mechanism and a second securement mechanism. The strap can be rotatably coupled to the body.
Securement device with integrated intra-luminal electro-conduction and external tamper sensitivity
A catheter securement device with integrated intra-luminal electro-conduction, and external tamper sensitivity, for tamper or movement detection. The catheter securement device accordingly can detect movement or tampering of an inserted catheter, which will allow a healthcare provider to take action to prevent movement or removal of the catheter from a patient.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING MEDICAL DEVICES
A system comprises a substrate having a plurality of apertures, and a clip. The clip is removably coupled to one of the plurality of apertures. The clip has a body, a plurality of fingers, a first leg, a second leg, a first notch, and a second notch. The fingers extend from the body to collectively form at least two tube-engaging regions. The first leg is adjacent to a first end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The second leg is adjacent to a second end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The first notch is adjacent to the first end of the body and is configured to receive a first portion of the substrate. The second notch is adjacent to the second end of the body and is configured to receive a second portion of the substrate.
Medical device securement system
A catheter securement device holds a medical article such as a catheter in position upon the body of a patient and at least inhibits longitudinal movement of the medical article. The securement device includes a retainer and a clamp. The retainer and clamp can include interengaging structure that can include a ratchet mechanism that allows a single securement system to be used with medical articles that have different longitudinal lengths as well as medical articles that have distally located contact surfaces.
Tube clamp
A tube holder includes a tube clamp having a housing and a clamping mechanism. The housing has a tube entry along a major surface thereof. A first tube passageway extends from the tube entry into the housing, and a tube receiving channel is coupled to the first tube passageway. The clamping mechanism comprises a lever handle user operable to transition from a first position to a second position. A gate is coupled to the lever handle, and a tube pinch is coupled to the lever handle. When a tube is peripherally inserted into the tube receiving channel and the lever handle of the clamping mechanism is in the second position, the gate prevents the tube from exiting the housing via the first tube passageway, and the tube pinch pinches the tube so as to prevent a flow of a fluid through the tube.
