SECUREMENT DEVICE WITH ATTACHABLE MEMBERS FOR USE WITH A CATHETER

摘要

The present invention describes a securement device that maintains proper placement of a percutaneous catheter and incorporates a universal fitting for the attachment of various, interchangeable, active and passive technologies. The securement device includes a unique catheter hub that enables attachment of active technology to provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring applications of physiologic, anatomic, and other clinically relevant properties or conditions. The securement device also includes a primary semi-flexible polymeric retention member (the “base”) positioned atop, or integrated with, a thin flexible adhesive pad. The adhesive pad has a first surface with an adhesive substrate and a second surface configured to receive the base. The hub is received within the base and a cap is used to secure the hub to the base.

主权项

1. A securement device for use with a percutaneous catheter, comprising:
a base defining a top side and a bottom side, wherein the bottom side is configured for attachment to a surface, and wherein the top side defines retention walls in a predetermined geometry; and a catheter hub having an outer wall defining the predetermined geometry, such that the catheter hub is held within the retention walls of the base.
