Medical fluid extension set systems are disclosed that can include a tubing anchor coupled to tubing and a fluid coupling device, and can be anchored to a patient to resist unintended separation of the tubing anchor or a catheter coupled to the tubing, from a patient, and to permit separation or disconnection of a fluid pathway between the tubing and another device coupled to thereto upon exceeding a pulling force on the fluid coupling device, and where disconnection includes separation of first and second valve assemblies such that a fluid pathway of the first and second valve assemblies is obstructed upon disconnection of the fluid coupling device.

Provided herein is a catheter assembly, including a catheter adapter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending along a first longitudinal axis therebetween, a catheter extending from the distal end of the catheter adapter, a dressing comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and first and second sides extending therebetween, the dressing defining a second longitudinal axis and configured to cover at least a portion of the catheter adapter at a site of penetration into a patient's vasculature, the dressing further comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface configured to contact skin of a patient, and a tourniquet configured to apply a radially-inward pressure to a limb of a patient near the site of penetration, the tourniquet configured to couple with the dressing.

Tubing anchors are disclosed that can include an anchor body configured to couple with a length of tubing and to be coupled with a patient to resist unintended separation of the tubing from the patient, where the tubing anchor can include any of a sidewall, a top surface, and a bottom surface configured to define a surface area to engage against any of a tape and adhesive to resist unintended separation of the anchor body from the patient.

A system and method for assisting medical professionals while controlling catheters/probes is provided. The device generally comprises an attachment device, top piece, bottom piece, hinge, locking element, and friction producing pads. A medical professional may manipulate the device in a way that allows for better control of a catheter/probe in at least one direction. The device is configured to be contained within a sterile packaging until ready for use. In some embodiments, the device may be attached to a patient's drape during a procedure so that the catheter/probe may be properly aligned with a sheath used during a procedure.

A medical device (100) for securing a catheter (700) to a support (600) is described, comprising a base element (200) having a first side (201) fixable to the support (600), and a second side (202) opposite the first side (201), and comprising a top element (500) having a first side (501) connectable with the second side (202) of the base element (200). When the first side (501) of the top element (500) is connected with the second side (202) of the base element (200), the top element (500) and the base element (200) are arranged for forming a feedthrough for the catheter (700) between the second side (202) of the base element (200) and the first side (501) of the top element (500). At least one of the base element (200) and the top element (500) comprises a deformable fluidum filled chamber (430), the deformable fluidum filled chamber (430) arranged such that the catheter (700) is locally tightly held between the base element (200) and the top element (500) when positioned there between.

A device for securing a catheter inserted into an incision or orifice of a patient is described. The device includes a module with bore into which the catheter can be inserted. Semirigid tethers connected to the module and to the patient prevent movement of the catheter relative to its position in the incision or orifice.

A catheter fixation device (10) includes a body (12), a catheter (16) having a proximal portion (18) and a distal portion that passes through an opening (14) in the body (12), and an anti-pull-out lock mechanism comprising an arcuate channel (24) bounded by a pair of arcuate walls (25, 26) extending from a floor of the body (12). A coiled portion (22) of the catheter (16) is constrained to move between the arcuate walls (25, 26) during movement of the proximal portion (18) and the distal portion remains substantially in place.

In general, medical sheath systems that include a curved support sheath are described. In one embodiment, the support sheath includes a curved tube includes a distal portion fixed in an orientation perpendicular to the proximal end during advancement of an interventional tool through the support sheath.

The disclosed film backing has a multilayer extensible substrate with a securing adhesive that can secure to a surface and a tab to stretch the extensible substrate to remove the securing adhesive from the underlying surface. Stretching the extensible substrate will easily release the adhesive from the underlying surface. Therefore, a strong adhesive can be used. The multilayer extensible substrate includes an elastic layer forming the core adjacent to a plastically-deforming layers forming the skin to minimize the elasticity of the overall construction.

This invention relates to a catheter cover. Previously, catheter covers that may protect a catheter from water were not efficiently securable to a human user. Embodiments of the present invention use a tab (50) joined to a sleeve on the catheter cover. A first adhesive strip (52) is joined to the tab and the sleeve and is configured to be attached to skin of a human user.
