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.

A radial artery sheath assembly includes a cuff that is wearable around a patient's wrist and a receiver is integrated into the cuff. The cuff is inflatable to compress an incision in the patient's wrist to achieve homeostasis for stopping bleeding. A ring is removably attachable to the cuff and a radial sheath is extendable through the ring to retain the radial sheath in the incision in the user's wrist when the ring is attached to the cuff. The ring is inflatable for compressing the radial sheath in the ring to inhibit the radial sheath from being removed from the incision. A lock is coupled to the ring and the lock releasably engages the receiver in the cuff for attaching the ring to the cuff.

A system and method for delivering a medicament including a catheter configured for implantation in different target tissue sites, extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and having a sidewall which defines an internal lumen. The distal end has one or more apertures in the sidewall for the release of the medicament into the target tissue site; the system also comprises a medicament reservoir fluidly communicable with the internal lumen of each catheter, an adhesive member configured to adhere to the skin of the patient around the exit wound and having an opening therein to allow the catheters to pass through the adhesive member and a retaining member configured to be overlaid on the adhesive member and comprising a guide surface configured to receive a length of the two or more catheters and a plurality of retaining portions to retain the catheters against the guide surface.

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.

Some embodiments of a medical device anchor system include an anchor device that secures a medical instrument (such as a catheter or the like) in place relative to a skin penetration point using subcutaneous anchors. In some implementations, the medical instrument can be coupled to the anchor device using a snap-lock cap mechanism.

A support device to support a catheter assembly may include a platform, which may include an upper surface and a bottom surface. The support device may include an extension element coupled to the upper surface of the platform. The extension element may include a distal end, which may include a first connector configured to couple to the catheter assembly, and a proximal end, which may include a second connector. The extension element may include a valve that may be movable between a first position and a second position. In response to the valve being moved to the first position, a fluid pathway extending through the cannula and the extension element may be open and straight. In response to the valve being moved to the second position, the fluid pathway may be closed. The support device may include a cannula, which may be swaged within the extension element.

A suction catheter holder is provided. The holder can include a housing that defines an interior open-space compartment for receiving at least a portion of a suction catheter. The housing can have an elongate structure defined by a longitudinal and lateral axis. The housing can include a base panel having a substantially flat exterior surface, and a plurality of sidewalls, each extending upward from the base to a roof panel having an interior surface that faces, at least in part, an interior surface of the base panel. The housing can include a front sidewall panel extending laterally along the front edges of the base and roof panels, between a pair of longitudinal sidewalls. The front sidewall panel can include an insertion through-hole for receiving the suction catheter and a securing through-hole for retaining the suction catheter in place.

The invention relates to a securing device (1) designed for securing a medical, cosmetic, decorative or other type of item to the skin of a living being, wherein the securing device (1) has at least one main puncturing element (2) with a puncturing tip (3), wherein the main puncturing element (2) is designed for penetrating into the skin of the living being, and the securing device (1) has at least one securing section (6, 16) coupled to the main puncturing element (2) and for securing the item to be secured on the securing device (1), wherein the the securing device (1) is designed for securing the main puncturing element (2) in the skin by means of a rotational movement of the securing device (1), whose axis of rotation runs orthogonal to the surface of the skin.

Some embodiments of a medical device anchor system include an anchor device that secures a medical instrument (such as a catheter or the like) in place relative to a skin penetration point using subcutaneous anchors. In some implementations, the medical instrument can be coupled to the anchor device using a snap-lock cap mechanism.
