A foley catheter stabilizing apparatus includes an attachment strap, a mounting plate, and a catheter stabilizing retainer. The catheter stabilizing retainer that secures the port divider of the catheter includes a channeled holder, an elastic cover, and a male fastening feature. The attachment strap slidably traverses through the mounting plate. A base of the channeled holder is rotatably mounted to the mounting plate as the attachment strap secures the mounting plate and the catheter stabilizing retainer to patient's leg. A proximal end of the elastic cover is terminally connected to a first lateral wall of the channeled holder. The male fastening feature is angularly connected to a second lateral wall of the channeled holder. The elastic cover is stretched across the first lateral wall and the second lateral wall of the channeled holder and removably mounted to the male fastening feature to secure the port divider in place.

The present invention pertains to a flexible universal catheter securement device having a longitudinal axis perpendicular to a transverse axis. The securement device preferably secures catheters with a hub. The device has a lower base attached to an upper base having a first integral securement strap and a second integral securement strap. The lower base has an upper side and a lower side, each having an adhesive. When the first strap and second strap are in an open position, the straps extend longitudinally from the upper base at folding lines parallel to the transverse axis. The straps are preferably separated by a circular opening smaller than the outside diameter of the hub. Each strap has an inside edge, where the inside edge comprises a portion of the circular opening and the inside edge is longer than the outside edge of the strap.

Apparatus and associated methodology contemplating a securement device for securing a percutaneous feeding device having a tube operably forming a feeding passage through a stoma placed in a patient. The securement device has an adhesive-backed substrate configured to operably adhere to the patient's skin around the stoma. A connector is selectively extendable relative to the substrate and selectively moveable between an unsecured mode and a secured mode, the connector in the unsecured mode clearingly disengaging the feeding device, and the connector in the secured mode configured to impart a securement force to the feeding device to restrict its movement relative to the stoma.

An apparatus for fixing a device in a selected position comprises a base having a deformable adherent material disposed thereon, and at least one stability feature associated with the base that allows the apparatus to be maintained in a location and position. The deformable adherent material substantially conforms to at least a portion of a shape of the device and removably fixes the device in the selected position. Although not limited thereto, the apparatus is useful in surgical and interventional procedures for quickly and reliably fixing a medical device such as a catheter at a selected position and orientation while allowing easy removing and repositioning of the device.

A medical conduit securing device is disclosed. The medical conduit securing device includes a first end; a second end opposing the first end, wherein the second end defines a flexible aperture; a flexible elongated body spanning a distance between the first end and the second end, the body having a plurality of raised areas; wherein reception of the first end through the second end via the flexible aperture cooperates to define a space shaped and sized to ensnare at least one medical conduit. The medical conduit securing device is configured to be attached to garments or ornaments donned by the user is a sanitary manner that does not abrase the medical conduits.

A tube securement system is disclosed that comprises a coupling article formed from a backing layer with first major surface and a second major surface. The coupling article comprises an anchor section, a capture section, and a longitudinal portion extending along a longitudinal direction separating the anchor section from the capture section. There is a first adhesive on the first major surface of the backing at the anchor section and a second adhesive on the first major surface of the backing at the capture section. The first major surface of the backing at the longitudinal portion is free of adhesive.

An anchoring system secures a catheter to the body of a patient and arrests axial movement of the catheter without impairing fluid flow through the catheter. The anchoring system can include an anchor pad that adheres to the patient's skin and supports a retainer. The retainer can include interengaging structure that moves the retainer between an open and a closed position. When in the open position, the retainer can receive a portion of the catheter and be subsequently moved to the closed position. The interengaging structure can allow the retainer to receive catheters of various sizes. The retainer can include one or more retention mechanisms to further inhibit axial movement of the catheter relative to the retainer when the catheter is secured therein. The anchoring system can include a mount that allows the retainer to rotate relative to the anchor pad.

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.

An umbilical arterial catherization device comprising a brace and a dilator. The brace has a body for supporting and stabilizing an umbilical cord end. The body may have resilient foam for grasping the umbilical cord, and may include a strap operable to secure part of the body to itself, after being wrapped around the umbilical cord. The dilator has a hook for engaging an open end of an arterial lumen, and a catch operable to fix the dilator to the brace in a position for dilating the arterial lumen. Both hands may be used to place the dilator while the device serves to stabilize and support the umbilical cord without use of the hands. The device may include a lighting element for illuminating the end of the umbilical cord to aid in visualization of the arterial lumen and facilitate proper placement of the catch within the arterial lumen.

A securement device for catheter tubes and polymer coated cables includes a base mounted on a support surface, and male and female straps, the male straps having locking members that mate with corresponding apertures in the female straps. The male and female straps connect to a base via fixed ends of the respective male and female straps, and each of the fixed ends comprises a curved portion configured to orient the corresponding unsecured strap substantially parallel to the base. Each of the fixed ends of the male straps mate with the fixed ends of the corresponding female strap, thereby forming a crease for seating the tube or cable being secured.
