Shower Patch Barrier Devices

摘要

A medical device suitable for assisting in liquid proof shielding of a catheter application area on the body of a living creature is described. The device comprises a base element tightly placeable on a body area near the catheter application area, and a top element connectable with the base element. One of the base element or the top element is an element comprising a slit for holding a catheter tube or infusion line and the other element comprising a protrusion for closing the slit and for forming a feedthrough for the catheter when the elements are connected. A first portion for tightly fitting and a second portion for forming a liquid sealing element for the catheter is used.

1. A medical device suitable for assisting in liquid proof shielding of a catheter application area on the body of a living creature, the device comprising:
a base element having a deformable first side such that the base element is tightly placeable on a body area near the catheter application area, and a second side opposite the first side; a top element having a deformable first side connectable with the second side of the base element, one of the base element or the top element being an element comprising a slit for holding a catheter tube or infusion line and the other element comprising a protrusion for closing the slit and for forming a feedthrough for the catheter when the elements are connected;wherein a first portion of the element forming the slit and the protrusion is made of a first material and shaped for tightly fitting the catheter when it is in position and wherein the element forming the slit and/or the protrusion comprises a second portion formed in a second material, the second material being more soft and deformable than the first material, the second portion being adjacent the first portion and being arranged so as to form a further liquid sealing element for the catheter.
