The present invention pertains to a device for securing a medical implement to the body of a patient. The device preferably comprises a base having a locking device and an articulation strap connected to a cover. The cover further comprises a gear rack, where the gear rack is insertable into the locking device. The base further comprises a top surface with an adhesive film and release paper and a bottom surface attached to a patient attachment member. The base also has a cutout section. The base is preferably sloped at an angle between five and ten degrees. The cover preferably has at least two living hinges and the articulation strap has at least two living hinges. The locking device further comprises a sliding surface.

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.

Securing a medical tube in fluid communication with the interior of a patient is accomplished with an apparatus having a support portion with a mounting surface thereon, a cover portion for the mounting surface that releasably attaches to the mounting surface to define an inner chamber, and a plurality of fingers to define at least one access slit for a medical tube to pass through. The assembly also has a detachable fastener element for securing the medical tube in the assembly. The plurality of fingers releasably connect to one another to define at least one access slit with the medical tube extending through the access slit. The plurality of fingers can be disconnected from one another to open the access slit, thereby facilitating removal of the substrate from the patient without disturbing the fluid communication between the medical tube and interior of the patient.

The present invention pertains to a flexible universal catheter securement device for use with, e.g. Foley catheters and other catheters. The flexible universal catheter securement device preferably comprises a cover attached to a base at a longitudinal articulation point. The cover has a top cover surface and a bottom cover surface and the bottom cover surface has an adhesive foam padding. The base has a top base surface and a bottom base surface and the top base surface has an adhesive foam padding. The articulation point is foldable such that the cover can be placed on the base. The base and the cover preferably have a centerline and the articulation point is offset there from. The base further comprises a catheter placement axis and the longitudinal articulation point is located parallel to the catheter placement axis. The cover preferably has less surface area than the base.

A tracheostomy holder to keep a tracheostomy tube secure in place. The tracheostomy holder has two contoured straps for applying through a tracheostomy tube eyelet. The tracheostomy holder is designed to be used with children and adults with any type of neck (short neck, long neck) also helps to prevent sliding and skin irritation. The tracheostomy holder keeps skin dry reducing the risk of skin breakdown around the neck. The tracheostomy holder has two straps wherein at the end of each strap, is a rough Velcro, that attaches to soft Velcro in the center back of the tracheostomy pad. The center of the pad is cushioned to provide more comfort for the neck.

Provided herein is a bridging device including, in some embodiments, a piece of tubing including a securement loop, a first connector at a first end of the piece of tubing, and a second connector at a second end of the piece of tubing. Also provided herein is a male external catheter (MEC) kit including, in some embodiments, an MEC; a drainage bag for the MEC; and the bridging device for fluidly connecting the MEC to the drainage bag. The securement loop of the piece of tubing is configured for securing the bridging device in a securement device optionally included in the MEC kit. The first connector is configured to connect to the MEC. The second connector is configured to connect to the drainage bag for the MEC. Methods for making and using the foregoing bridging device and MEC kit are also provided.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for attaching a medical device, preferably a urine collection device to a subject, an assembly containing the apparatus and medical device, kits containing the apparatus and methods for using the apparatus to attach, hold, secure and/or stabilize a medical device to a subject.

Transradial access of mammalian vasculature enhances and renders novel approaches to the heart, brain and other associated organ systems less fraught with risk and more appropriate for ageing populations and challenging vessel morphologies, inter alia. Cerebral access is emphasized.

A nasogastric tube securement system. The system can include a base layer and a coupling layer. The base layer can be configured to be adhered to a nose, having a first major surface comprisng a skin-contact adhesive and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The coupling layer can include a first end comprising coupling means configured to be repositionably coupled to the second major surface of the base layer, a second end configured to secure a nasogastric tube, and a middle section connecting the first end and the second end. The middle section can be elongated along a longitudinal direction, and the second end can include at least two legs extending downwardly from the first end, each leg separated from an adjacent leg by an acute angle.
