SECONDARY DEVICE HOLDER AND COMPRESSION SYSTEM, METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
20220183699 · 2022-06-16 ·

A device that holds a radial sheath, catheter or similar structure in place during surgical procedures. The device has a strap configured to fit around a patient's wrist and a two-part section that includes a sheath holder or clamp. The clamp is configured to accept a free end of the sheath or other device and to allow the physician access to the open end of that sheath so that they can insert instruments through it. The second section contains a compression device that, when positioned over the puncture site, can be expanded such that it provides pressure and patent hemostasis to the site to stop bleeding. Adhesive surfaces with peel away releasable liners on one or more surfaces of the device allow the flap featuring the compression balloon to be folded over onto the flap containing the sheath clamp and hold it in place.

CONFORMABLE DRESSING

When thin-film dressings are used to secure a device, the dressing might need to stretch in some areas to accommodate varying sizes of a device, while remaining stiffer in some areas to limit stretching of the materials. Excessive stretching of the materials can cause the dressing to peel away from the skin or cause the underlying device to not be sufficiently secured. The disclosed dressing can be used to secure a device and includes perforations near the device securement area to allow for isolated regions of adjustability to accommodate a secure fit between the dressing and device.

Tamper resistant catheter device

A tamper resistant catheter device preventing unauthorized access, while permitting authorized intravenous medications through an inlet port. The device comprises a catheter line retainer having a base supporting the catheter line, a lumen adaptor engaged with the catheter line, and a locking clamp for clamping the catheter line within the catheter line retainer. An installation tool is provided having a breakaway handle and a locking cap for covering the lumen adaptor. Finally, a slotted retaining sleeve is installed using the breakaway handle of the installation tool for engagement with the locking cap and around the lumen adaptor. The slotted retaining sleeve engages the locking clamp to block removal of the locking clamp from the line retainer. Once the slotted retaining sleeve and locking cap are installed, the breakaway handle is removed. A removal tool disengages the locking cap from the slotted retaining sleeve for authorized access.

A device for securing and monitoring movement of a catheter includes a film having an adhesive disposed on a body-facing surface for securing the film to a body. The device also includes a base mounted on the film, the base comprising a first portion of a guide channel for receiving the catheter. A cover is coupled to the base via a hinge, the cover comprising a second portion of the guide channel, the cover further comprising a rounded portion extending from a distal end of the cover, wherein in the closed configuration, the catheter is completely enclosed by the rounded portion and the first and second portions of the guide channel. The device also includes a positional shift indicator fixedly attached to the catheter and configured to indicate positional shifts by the catheter within the guide channel.

DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR STABILIZING MEDICAL TUBING PROTRUDING FROM A PATIENT
20230256204 · 2023-08-17 ·

Systems and methods for stabilizing medical tubing protruding from a patient are disclosed herein. A method of stabilizing medical tubing protruding may include a tube stabilization patch and a complementary medical garment. The tube stabilization patch may be applied to a patient who has medical tubing or a catheter protruding from their body to reduce or dampen movement on the body from the medical tubing in relation to the patient. The medical garment may be worn by the patient and placed in combination with the tube stabilization patch to further reduce the relative movement of the medical tubing. Such relative movement may be reduced both externally and internally, decreasing the risk of infection caused by catheterization of patients.

Window dressing for use with ultrasonic aid in venipuncture

A window dressing includes a primary layer having a window for viewing a catheter insertion site. The primary layer includes an adhesive layer on a lower, skin-contacting face of the primary layer. A transparent layer covers the window and adheres to the upper surface of the primary layer. An ultrasonic transmission layer is positioned below the primary layer, where the transmission layer comprises a layer of hydrogel. A support structure has a stiffness that is greater than the primary layer and has an adhesive layer on the lower surface of the support structure. The support structure adhesive layer adheres the support structure to the upper surface of the primary layer.

SEALING AND SECURING DRESSING SYSTEM FOR VASCULAR ACCESS DEVICES
20230248945 · 2023-08-10 ·

Devices, systems, and methods used to seal and secure a medical device at an insertion site are disclosed. The systems include a mating dressing device, a central connector, and a compression lock collar. The mating dressing device includes an adhesive plate portion that forms a first circumferential seal around the insertion site and a mating body portion that the central connector form fits to. The compression lock collar compresses the mating body portion against the central connector to form a second circumferential seal. The systems can also include a segment of intravenous tubing coupled to the central connector and used for application of the mating dressing device and compression lock collar.

Wrap systems for medical device kits

Medical device kits for use in placing, maintaining, altering, and/or removing medical devices in, on, and/or from the body of a patient are disclosed. Such medical device kits can include one or more wrap assemblies for use in the placement/maintenance procedure. In accordance with present embodiments, the one or more wrap assemblies of the medical device kit can include various features to assist the clinician performing the particular procedure. In one embodiment, a medical wrap assembly is disclosed, comprising a foldable wrap body that includes a front surface, wherein the front surface is configured to define a sterile field. A plurality of pockets is included on the front surface of the wrap body. The pockets are configured to contain therein a plurality of medical components. The medical components are arranged in the pockets in a predetermined order of use for the medical procedure.

Securing a percutaneous feeding device
11229580 · 2022-01-25 ·

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.
