| 20090093769 | UNIVERSAL CATHETER SECUREMENT DEVICE - A universal securing device for holding catheters of various shapes and sizes and the like in place includes a base and cover. The cover may be connected to the base by a hinge which allows the cover to be lifted open or pushed down into a closed position, over a catheter fitting. The base may have locating elements configured and arranged to fit around catheter fittings of various sizes, and the locating elements prevent substantial movement of a catheter fitting and catheter in various dimensions. The cover may include capture elements which act to grip and compress the catheter fitting when the securing device is in a closed position, thus preventing substantial movement of a catheter fitting and catheter in various dimensions. The base may be attached to a patient with an adhesive pad attached to the bottom surface of the base. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090093770 | LOW PROFILE RETENTION SYSTEM - Medical devices for retaining an end of a medical tube. Each of the devices of the present invention comprises a base and at least one tab having a portion that is moveable within the base. The base comprises an upper surface, a lower surface, at least one side cavity for receiving a tab, and an opening transverse to the upper and lower surfaces. To facilitate tube retention, the tube is inserted through the opening in the base and the tab(s) is(are) moved within the cavity(ies) such that a portion of each tab contacts and retains the tube. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20100179482 | UNIVERSAL CATHETER SECUREMENT DEVICE - A universal device for securing a catheter on a patient includes a base which optionally has one or more locating elements for positioning or securing a catheter or catheter fitting of various shapes or sizes. The base optionally includes a recessed or flat receiving area defined by locating elements arranged in any configuration suitable to hold or receive a catheter or catheter fitting, e.g., in a tapering or V shaped formation. Additional locating elements may be positioned elsewhere on the base for receiving or holding a flange or wing of a catheter fitting and preventing its movement in various directions. The base optionally has an angled surface to maintain the desired angle for catheters or catheter fittings in a patient. A cover is removably or permanently connected to the base and may optionally have one or more top openings for receiving tabs or extensions of a catheter fitting. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110106014 | SEALED STERILE CATHETER DRESSINGS - Devices and methods are provided for sealing a catheter insertion site to maintain sterility. In one embodiment, a catheter dressing is provided that includes an adhesive plate configured for attachment to the skin of a patient and a flexible sheath that extends proximally from the adhesive plate. The sheath can be capable of longitudinal extension from a compressed to an extended state and can be configured in its extended state to surround an external segment of a catheter implanted in the patient and circumferentially seal to a portion of the external segment at a distance from the adhesive plate. The dressing can also be configured to restrict longitudinal movement of the catheter while at the same time permitting non-longitudinal movement. One-piece rigid or semi-rigid dressing bodies are also disclosed, as are various methods and devices for facilitating removal and or replacement of a catheter dressing. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110282291 | MEDICAL DEVICE SECUREMENT SYSTEM - A catheter securement device | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120109069 | SPECIALIZED CATHETER SECUREMENT DEVICES FOR PERIPHERALLY INSERTED CENTRAL CATHETERS - A catheter securement device in accordance with the present invention includes a flexible base member having an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side. A single piece elastomeric anchoring member is mounted on the non-adhesive side of the base member. The anchoring member integrally includes a pair of opposing pull tabs, a slit disposed between the opposing pull tabs, and a third pull tab disposed between the slit and one of the opposing pull tabs. Pulling the opposing pull tabs opens the slit for receiving a catheter hub in the slit, and the third pull tab is insertable into the slit for securing the catheter hub between the anchoring member and the base member. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120232489 | SEALED STERILE CATHETER DRESSINGS - Devices and methods are provided for sealing a catheter insertion site to maintain sterility. In one embodiment, a catheter dressing is provided that includes an adhesive plate configured for attachment to the skin of a patient and a flexible sheath that extends proximally from the adhesive plate. The sheath can be capable of longitudinal extension from a compressed to an extended state and can be configured in its extended state to surround an external segment of a catheter implanted in the patient and circumferentially seal to a portion of the external segment at a distance from the adhesive plate. The dressing can also be configured to restrict longitudinal movement of the catheter while at the same time permitting non-longitudinal movement. One-piece rigid or semi-rigid dressing bodies are also disclosed, as are various methods and devices for facilitating removal and or replacement of a catheter dressing. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120265147 | STABILIZING DEVICE HAVING A LOCKING COLLET - A medical article, such as a catheter hub, is stabilized on a patient with a retainer having a base and clamp or moveable collet. A lever is configured to move the collet in a longitudinal direction relative to the based to secure the medical article to the retainer. When rotated, the lever pulls the collet in a direction away from the patient while collapsing the collet around at least a portion of the catheter hub. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20140107584 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANCHORING MEDICAL DEVICES - Some embodiments of a medical device anchor system include an anchor device that secures a medical instrument (such as a catheter or the like) in place relative to a skin penetration point using subcutaneous anchors. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20140378907 | Nasogastric Tube - A nasogastric tube includes a connector. The connector has a first connection end, a second connection end and a flow channel formed through the connector. The first connection end is connected to a first tube, and the second connection end has a positioning sleeve formed thereon. The positioning sleeve has a connection part extended from the flow channel and jointing with an assembling part of the second tube. The first tube of nasogastric tube of the present invention can be inserted to a stomach from a nasal cavity, and then the connector is placed in the nasal cavity, and the positioning sleeve is fixed in the nostril. The second tube can be detached from the connector when not being used. | 12-25-2014 |
| 20150038912 | CATHETER SECUREMENT DEVICE - A securement device for securing a medical article is disclosed. The securement device comprises a base and a first securing portion comprising a strap that is movable between an open position and a closed position and a connector disposed on the base. The strap cooperates with the connector in the closed position to form an enclosure. The strap further comprises a curvilinear segment that projects inwardly into the enclosure in a convex orientation when the strap is in the closed position. Securement systems for securing medical articles and methods of securing at least a portion of a medical article to a patient are also provided. | 02-05-2015 |
