CATHETER CONNECTION AND STABILIZATION DEVICE AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

A device (100) for stabilizing a patient catheter includes a docking pod (150) with a body (153), an inlet (152), an outlet (153), an internal fluid path (151) between the inlet and the outlet, and a securement surface located on an underside of the docking pod. A docking pod adhesive layer located at least partially on the securement surface of the docking pod may secure the docking pod to the patient such that the securement surface and the docking pod adhesive layer form a generally planar or concave surface when secured to the patient. A valve mechanism (157) located within the internal fluid path of the docking pod may control fluid flow through the docking pod. The device may also have a luer connector that is fluidly connected to the outlet of the docking pod and configured to be connected to the catheter.
