An integrated vascular delivery system and method of use, the system including: a frame having a catheter hub that provides a first anchoring point on the patient and receives a catheter insertable in the patient to transfer fluid at an insertion site, a stabilization hub that provides a second anchoring point on the patient, at least one lateral member extending between the catheter and stabilization hubs, and a fluidic channel. The frame operates in a folded configuration in which the hubs are coupleable and an unfolded configuration in which the anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter. In some embodiments, the system further includes a septum that helps prevent fluid leakage from the catheter hub, or a needle shield that covers the distal end of a needle used during catheter insertion.

A chest drainage system securing apparatus for securing and maintaining chest drainage systems in position following placement into a human or animal patient and preventing movement or unplanned removal thereof in response to the application of significant forces in any direction thereto, be they longitudinal, torsional/rotational or bending. The securement system includes retention devices secured to a chest tube which interact with an adhesive pad releasably attached to a patient to ensure proper positioning of the chest tube. The adhesive pad includes one or more Heimlich-type valves for sealing sucking chest wounds and for sealing an incision formed in a patients skin and chest for the placement and insertion of a chest tube.

The present invention relates to means for fixating catheters, which are used in healthcare and in particular to means (1,5) for fixating such catheters to a living creature.

A clamp for inter alia a bronchoscope, the clamp comprising a spine with frame which has a channel through which a tube of inter alia the bronchoscope is received. The frame includes clamping means to grip the tube within the frame to fix it in position. The clamping is releasable to allow further movement of the tube relative to the frame.

The retention device is configured to be coupled to the end outer part of a urinary catheter or feeding catheter of the type having a “T” shaped valve, the retention device comprising a body with: a first portion extending in a longitudinal direction “X” and having an inner recess for receiving and accommodating an end part of a urinary catheter or feeding tube where the first portion is closed above by an upper portion comprising an anti-leakage element of the open end of the catheter or tube connecting the catheter, a second portion extending in a second direction “Y”, transverse to the longitudinal direction “X”, wherein the second portion comprises an inner recess extending along the transverse direction “Y”, and wherein the second portion is open at one of its ends, while at the opposite end it comprises an anti-opening wall, and a fastening element, configured to releasably fasten the retention device to an element external to the user's body.

This allows the user to perform any type of sports activity with the catheter fitted and placed inside the support without any risk of accidental action.

The invention also concerns the assembly formed by this retention device and a catheter.

Some embodiments of a medical system include a catheter device, such as an intravenous cannula device, having an external anchor device and a subcutaneous anchor device to secure a distally extending cannula of the device in a selected position relative to a skin penetration point.

Described is an intravenous line housing defining an intravenous line guide. The intravenous line guide is configured to hold the intravenous line and direct the intravenous line along a path. Also provided is an apparatus comprising the intravenous housing and a securing means to secure the intravenous line housing to the patient.

The present disclosure relates generally to systems, devices, and methods for supporting, stabilizing, and/or positioning a medical device, such as a transcatheter medical device. The stabilizer allows for control of degrees of freedom from no movement to free movement to selective movements, to substantially translation only movement and/or to substantially rotational only movement of the medical device. The patent describes pure mechanical embodiment as well as smart embodiments that can synergistically sense, actuate and/or transmit data between the stabilizer, medical device and control or display system to operate and/or deploy the device/therapy.

A catheter mounting arrangement including a main housing unit configurable to be fastenable around a catheter that has been inserted into a fluid cavity within a patient. The main housing unit includes a slot that defines a longitudinal opening through which an uninserted section of tubing of the inserted catheter is passable there through. The main housing unit and inserted catheter includes an engagement arrangement so that once the uninserted section of the tubing of the inserted catheter has passed through the slot there is a fixed vertical support of the catheter within the main housing unit so that the uninserted section of tubing of the inserted catheter remains substantially upright and/or substantially free of kinks or bends.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for securing a medical device. An exemplary apparatus includes a body having an inner portion and an edge portion, the edge portion defining a terminal end of the body, the body defining at least one surface spanning the inner portion and the edge portion. The apparatus further includes at least one wing fixedly coupled to the edge portion of the body, the at least one wing defining at least one hole extending through the at least one wing. The apparatus still further includes at least one channel disposed on the at least one surface of the body, the at least one channel having a first terminal end at the edge portion of the body, wherein the at least one channel comprises at least one curve.
