Catheter-positioning slide cover clamp assembly

摘要

The present invention provides a catheter clamp assembly having a base and a slide cover. The base has a top, bottom and a body including a slide cover track. The body has internal walls defining a catheter opening extending from the bottom to the top. A catheter channel extends from the catheter opening to a sidewall opening. The slide cover includes a lower surface incorporating a prong to engage a wall defining the catheter opening and to secure a catheter in the catheter channel. The slide cover has a first location providing access to the catheter opening and a second location that clamps a catheter in the catheter channel. Moving the slide cover from its first location contacts a length of catheter extending through the catheter opening to position it in the catheter channel for securement when the slide cover reaches its second location.

主权项

1. A catheter clamp assembly comprising:
a base that includes: a top and a bottom, a body that includes a slide cover track extending from a first end of the body to a second end of the body, the body having internal walls defining a catheter opening extending from the bottom to the top, the body further defining a catheter channel extending from the catheter opening to a sidewall opening; and a slide cover slidably engaged with the slide cover track, the slide cover including a prong extending from a lower surface of the slide cover to engage a wall defining the catheter opening and to secure a catheter in the catheter channel; wherein the slide cover has a first location atop the body that includes a first end of the slide cover aligning with the first end of the body providing access to thread a catheter through the catheter opening and a second location atop the body that includes a second end of the slide cover aligning with the second end of the body that securely clamps a catheter in the catheter channel, such that sliding the slide cover from its first location to its second location contacts a length of a catheter extending through the catheter opening and positions the catheter in the catheter channel for securement when the slide cover reaches its second location.
