A fastener for securing a medical or surgical line with respect to a patient, the fastener comprising: an elongate braided tubular sleeve for receiving the line therethrough, the sleeve having a variable length and being capable when lengthened of gripping the line, an attachment arrangement for attaching the sleeve to the patient, and a sensor mounted to the fastener, the sensor being arranged to sense at least one of a physiological parameter of the patient and a parameter in relation to the line.

Anorectal diagnostic procedures are oftentimes carried out with the patient laying in the left decubitus position, which leads to non-representative response to test maneuvers due to the unnatural position and patient anxiety. Devices spanning, or fastened on, the interglutial cleft of a patient allow for a more natural patient position and eliminate non-representative responses.

Wraps configured to cover a user's body portion having a tube that is at least partially external the user's body and that is in fluid communication with one or more internal systems of the user's body are disclosed. The wraps may include a fabric panel sized and shaped to wrap around and cover the user's body portion. The wraps may additionally include a coupling assembly connected to the fabric panel and configured to secure the fabric panel to one or more portions of the user when the fabric panel is wrapped around the user's body portion. The wraps may further include a holder assembly configured to secure a portion of the tube to the fabric panel.

A tube fixation device (1) for maintaining a tube (2) inserted into a mammalian body in a releasably fixated position, said tube fixation device (1) comprising: a tube receiving element (3) configured to receive said tube (2); a fastening element (4) arranged in connection to said tube receiving element (3) and wherein said fastening element (4) is configured to releasably fixate said tube (2) when said tube (2) is arranged in said tube receiving element (3); and a supportive element (5) attached to said tube receiving element (3) and configured to be positioned on a surface area of said mammalian body,characterized in that the supportive element (5) comprises a layered structure (16), wherein said layered structure comprises at least a ductile layer (20) comprising a ductile material, wherein the ductile layer is configured to be shapeable by the practitioner to conform to a three-dimensional shape of said surface area on said mammalian body.

A medical device packaging assembly includes a cover (10), a medical packaging paper (20), a medical device (50), and an adhesive dressing (30). The cover has a pocket (14) and a perimeter (12) extending from the perimeter of the pocket. The medical packaging paper forms a hermetically tight seal between the medical packaging paper and the perimeter of the cover around the pocket. The medical device is contained in the hermetically sealed pocket along with the adhesive dressing. The adhesive dressing is removably adhered to the medical packaging paper.

An apparatus for use in securing a reusable medical device to an exterior surface of a patient's body includes a cushion, a first adhesive member, and a second adhesive member. The cushion includes a bottom side, a top side opposite the bottom side, and an opening adapted to receive at least a portion of the reusable medical device therein. The first adhesive member includes an upper adhesive surface and lower adhesive surface opposite the upper adhesive surface. The second adhesive member is interposed between the cushion and the first adhesive member, and includes a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface opposite the first adhesive surface.

A facial skin indentation preventer has a central base core surrounded by an entrapment flap and a securing flap. The core and flaps have two layers: a soft moleskin or similar skin-contact layer and a second more rigid layer. A rigid cushion is attached to the central base core and a cannula or similar item can be placed thereon. The flaps are then folded inwards, over the rigid cushion, creating a cannula pocket above the rigid cushion and entrapping and holding the cannula therein. An entrapment hinge and securing hinge ensure the folds remain rounded and soft. A flap attachment is used to lock the securing flap in place and ensure the cannula stays within the cannula pocket.

A protective barrier is provided. The protective barrier includes an elongated tube, which may include a protective gasket shape or boxed shaped apparatus. The elongated tube includes an inner surface, an outer surface, a first rim forming an entrance and a second rim forming an exit. A length of the elongated tube is from the first rim to the second rim. Tape attaches the elongated tube to the user's skin at an entry point of the fluid conducting lines. A first side edge and a second side edge are formed along the length of the elongated tube, forming a slit. The first side edge and the second side edge are biased to overlap one another. A disinfectant layer such as an anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and/or anti-septic, is disposed on the inner surface of the elongated tube.

A medical article, such as a catheter hub, is stabilized on a patient with a retainer having a base and clamp or moveable collet. A lever is configured to move the collet in a longitudinal direction relative to the based to secure the medical article to the retainer. When rotated, the lever pulls the collet in a direction away from the patient while collapsing the collet around at least a portion of the catheter hub.

A stabilization device for integrated catheters can include a platform, a pair of catheter fasteners on the platform, and a pair of stabilization wings extending from the platform. The platform can include a skin-facing side and catheter-securing side of the platform. The pair of catheter fasteners can be on the catheter-securing side of the platform. The catheter fasteners can be configured to secure a hub of an integrated catheter having an extension port. The pair of stabilization wings can extend from a transverse axis of the platform. The stabilization wings can be configured to mitigate rotation of the integrated catheter about a longitudinal axis thereof when the integrated catheter is secured by the catheter fasteners on the platform and the stabilization device is adhered to a patient. A method for stabilizing integrated catheters can include securing an integrated catheter and adhering the stabilization device to a patient's skin.
