An infusion site retainer configured to maintain tubing coupled to an infusion port includes a base configured to be secured to a patient and comprises a patient surface opposite a first surface and comprises a sidewall surface substantially perpendicular to the patient surface and the first surface. At least one trench is formed in the first surface of the base to secure the tubing to the base. At least one trench is formed in the sidewall surface of the base to secure the tubing to the base.

This invention relates to an intravenous infusion set and accessory for an intravenous infusion. There is provided an accessory for securing an intravenous infusion set to at least part of a user’s forearm arm including primary engagement means (2) for engaging the accessory to a portion of a main intravenous line (3) and secondary engagement means 5 for simultaneously engaging the intravenous line (3) to another portion along the line (3). The primary engagement means (2) is displaceable along the line 3 such the position of the accessory (1) may be adjusted along the length of the line (3) and encloses the periphery of the line (3). The primary (2) and secondary (5) engagement means are proximate such that, operatively, when the secondary engagement means (5) engages the line (3), the line (3) forms a loop (6) which may be positioned to engage at least part of the user’s forearm.

A medical tubing organizer includes a base defining a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction being defined as substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and a vertical direction being defined as substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal and lateral directions. A tube retainer is positioned on a top of the base and configured to receive a medical tube that extends along the lateral direction. The tube retainer is further configured to adjust between a free flow state and a retention state, wherein, in the free flow state, the tube retainer is configured to enable movement of the medical tube in the lateral direction and resist movement in the longitudinal direction, and in the retention state, the tube retainer is configured to resist movement in the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions. A connector is positioned on the base for selectively coupling the medical tubing organizer to a structure.

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.

Disclosed herein is a cradle for a medical device. The cradle has an inner cradle side and an opposing outer cradle side, wherein the outer cradle side is adapted for attachment to a patient's skin with at least part of the outer cradle side facing the patient's skin. The medical device has a medical device coupler, wherein the medical device coupler is adapted for coupling the medical device to the cradle such that part of the medical device is facing the inner cradle side. The cradle further includes a drain fluidly coupling the inner cradle side with the outer cradle side.

There is provided an apparatus for positioning a front sensor and/or a back sensor across a thorax of a target individual, the apparatus comprising: a back positioning element comprising: a collar sized and shaped for fitting to a shoulder line and base of a back of a neck of the target individual, and an elongated element having a first end region connected to the collar, and a second end region with a location marker set to correspond to a target anatomical feature of the spine of the target individual, wherein when in use, the elongated element is positioned parallel to and over a long axis of a spine on the back of the target individual, and at least one front sensor and at least one back sensor are positioned on the thorax of the patient relative to the back positioning element for transmitting to and/or sensing from the target region.

An intradermal fluid delivery device that uses a processor controlled electromechanical delivery mechanism is provided. An air pump pushes fluid containing medication or saline from a fluid compartment through a microneedle array into a person's skin. The processor repeatedly turns the air pump on or off, for the fluid to gradually be injected into the person's skin. The processor may be configured to control the total fluid delivery time as well as the granularity of the fluid delivery. The total fluid delivery time may be set to T, and the time period T may be divided into smaller periods t.sub.1 to t.sub.n, where the fluid may be administered in a period t1, the fluid delivery may then be stopped for a period t2, followed by another fluid delivery period, etc. The periods t1 to tn may be the same or of different lengths.

An intravenous (IV) fluid delivery system include an IV bag and a fluid delivery device. The IV bag is made of many fluidic channels that keep the fluid distributed across the bag such that the bag may be easily and comfortably wrapped around the arm and shoulder of a person. The fluid delivery device includes a processor controlled electromechanical delivery mechanism that controls a positive displacement pump. The pump moves the fluid into a tube and a needle that is connected to a person's vein. The processor repeatedly turns the pump on or off to gradually transfer the fluid from the IV bag into the person's vein. The processor controls the granularity of the fluid delivery, where the fluid may be administered in a fluid delivery period, the fluid delivery may then be stopped in a subsequent fluid stoppage period, followed by other fluid delivery periods.

The present invention relates to a medical infusion pump holder wearable as a glove, band, or sleeve that fits over the hand, arm, or leg of a patient and holds a medical infusion pump stationary proximate an injection site on the patient while the patient's arms or legs are in motion. The medical infusion pump holder comprises a receptacle that is formed from a flexible mesh material having a plurality of holes dispersed throughout. The medical infusion pump is inserted into the receptacle with only the intravenous drug delivery tube egress from the receptacle. A bottom seal is integrated around the periphery of the bottom end and closes the bottom end, and a top seal is fastened around the periphery of the top end. The top seal is stretchable and under a no-load condition draws the top end substantially closed retaining the medical infusion pump inside the receptacle.
