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.

Devices, kits and methods described herein are be used at chronic injection site or in conjunction with an indwelling catheter or cannula. A book-like packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device with an opening and optional indicia to align the catheter or cannula to the opening may be used to apply a dressing to a subject. The packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may apply and/or maintain a strain in an elastic dressing.

Devices, systems, and methods used to dress a catheter device are disclosed. The devices and systems include a catheter dressing system including a body, a closure member, an adhesive plate, and an extension tubing having a catheter connector coupled to a distal end. The catheter dressing system is displaceable over the extension tubing and the extension tubing passes through the closure member. The catheter connector is disposable within a chamber of the body to prevent movement of the catheter connector. The closure member is actuated to form a circumferential seal around the extension tubing to prevent contamination of the catheter connector and to prevent axial movement of the extension tubing. The adhesive plate can be adhered to a patient's skin to form a circumferential seal around a catheter skin puncture site. The method includes sliding the catheter dressing system along the extension tubing.

A medical dispensing device which includes a catheter, an applicator tip at a distal end of the catheter, the catheter and the applicator tip defining a lumen having a longitudinal axis and a distal opening, a plunger in the lumen and movable along the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of elements in the lumen proximal to the distal opening and distal to the plunger, the plurality of elements stacked along the longitudinal axis for dispersement of one element at a time through the distal opening via a force applied by the plunger.

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 method for site assessments of a catheter insertion site and/or dressing includes: scanning the catheter insertion site and/or dressing with an image capture device and/or sensor; selecting a patient baseline site location and skin tone; recording a baseline condition using a computing device; determining a site assessment rate using a computing device; prompting a clinician to make a site assessment of the catheter insertion site and/or dressing using a computing device; and recording site assessment information in an electronic medical record using a computing device.

A low profile catheter system includes a catheter hub with a stabilization surface that is located on an underside of the catheter hub and stabilizes the catheter hub on a patient. A substantially linear flow path extends from an opening at the distal end of the catheter hub to an inlet located within an intermediate portion of the catheter hub. The flow path allows fluid to flow between the distal end and the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion receives a base connector having a fluid path. The fluid path has a first opening and is fluidly connected to the inlet of the flow path in the catheter hub and a biasing member biases the first opening toward the inlet when the base connector is received by the intermediate portion.

The invention relates to an indwelling venous cannula (1) for application to a living being, having a venous catheter (2), wherein a puncture needle (3) can be guided in a longitudinally movable manner in the venous catheter (2). The puncture needle (3) is designed as a hollow needle over a portion of its length, wherein at least part of an additional portion of the length of the puncture needle (3) is solid.

A compression device set includes: a compression device to be adhered to a biological surface; and a cover member attachable to and detachable from the compression device. The compression device includes: an adhesive sheet having an adhesion lower surface to be adhered to the biological surface; and a compression member fixed to an upper surface side of the adhesive sheet and configured to compress the biological surface when the adhesion surface is adhered to the biological surface. The adhesive sheet includes a first portion that is in contact with the compression member and a second portion that is not in contact with the compression member. The cover member is configured to be attached to the compression member in a state in which the cover member is configured to come into contact with an upper surface of at least a part of the second portion of the adhesive sheet.
