ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE SECUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING SAME
Endotracheal tube securement systems (100) include one or more base articles (110) for securing the system to a patient's face and one or more coupling articles (120) having one or more anchor sections (130) configured to be repositionably coupled to the one or more base articles, while also including a capture section (140) configured to secure the coupling article to an endotracheal tube. The one or more anchor sections of the one or more coupling articles can be repositioned on the one or more base articles without removing the one or more base articles from the skin or even changing the one or more base articles on the skin.
CATHETER FIXING BAND
Provided is a catheter fixing band for fixing a tube bent and connected to a catheter to the catheter fixing band.
According to the present disclosure, a catheter fixing band includes: a body detachably fixed to a human body and having a catheter hole open to expose a portion of the human body; and a cover unit detachably attached to the body to open or close the catheter hole, in which the cover unit includes a fixing member fixing the catheter to a predetermined position of the cover unit, and has a shape forming integral concept in relation to flow of fluid in the catheter when the cover unit covers the catheter hole and the catheter is fixed to the fixing member.
CATHETER STABILIZER AND GRIP
A grip assembly and pad are removably attachable to each other for immobilization of a catheter attached to the grip assembly. Removable attachability is provided between the catheter and pad through interaction of complementary portions of a hook and loop, fastener, and optionally utilizing an additional mechanical fastener associated with the pad. In some embodiments, the mechanical fastener can be the only catheter engagement, and the catheter can either be engaged, directly or through the grip assembly. The pad can be replaced with other catheter anchors which firmly grip the catheter and hold it against rotation, and/or translation. The catheter is thus readily and easily transitioned between a stabilized state where translation and rotation are resisted, and a freely movable state where the catheter can be readily rotated and translated by a surgeon, or other medical professional.
MEDICAL DEVICES AND METHODS
In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a medical device can include a sheath having a proximal end and a distal end. The sheath can be configured to receive a penis through the proximal end, and can at least partially cover the penis. The sheath can include a distal opening in the distal end of the sheath. The sheath can include a flow structure comprising a proximal flow structure portion extending proximally relative to an interior surface of the distal end of the sheath and configured to be inserted into the urethra of the penis. The flow structure can be in fluid communication with or can pass through the distal opening in the distal end of the sheath to allow fluid to flow through the sheath to or from the urethra.
Flexible universal catheter securement device
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.
CATHETER SECUREMENT SYSTEMS, KITS AND METHODS OF USING SAME
Catheter securement systems, kits, and methods. The catheter securement systems include a base article that can be coupled to skin, and a coupling article having an anchor section and one or more legs configured to secure a catheter to the base article. The base article and the coupling article are configured to secure the catheter to the base article while allowing for removal and re-attachment of the catheter and the coupling article between two or more base articles attached to a patient while the base articles remain attached to the patient, or for repositioning of the catheter and coupling article on the same base article. Base articles can remain in position on the skin until it becomes necessary to change the base article or the catheter is removed from the patient. Catheter securement systems can be provided as a kit.
ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE SECUREMENT DEVICES AND METHODS
ET securement devices and methods are provided wherein the ET securement devices generally include two portions: a first portion for securing an ET tube and a second portion for attaching to the patient. The first portion is configured to releasably attach to the second portion to secure the ET tube relative to the patient.
Securement device for polymer tubing and polymer coated cables
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 a recess in the fixed ends of the corresponding female strap, thereby forming a crease for seating the tube or cable being secured.
Medical Device Fixation Apparatus
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.
Fixing device
The invention relates to a fixing device for fixing a medical, cosmetic, decorative or other article to the skin of a living being, the fixing device comprising the following features: a) a first retaining element having a first piercing point, which is designed to pierce the skin, b) a second retaining element having a second piercing point, which is designed to pierce the skin, the second piercing point being arranged at a distance from the first piercing point, c) a bridge, to which the first and the second retaining element are fastened, d) a fixing portion, which is connected to the bridge or is part of the bridge, the fixing portion being designed to fix the article that is to be fixed.
