Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 13/134,498 filed on Jun. 9, 2011, DOW the entire contents of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference into the present application. This application claims a benefit of priority under 35 USC §119 based on
patent application 13/134,498 filed on Jun. 9, 2011. - This invention relates generally to the field of devices for securing or retaining catheters, IV tubes, drainage tubes or similar medical lines to the skin of a patient at or near the point of insertion, and more particularly relates to such devices securing or retaining catheters and the like that extend generally perpendicularly to the skin surface.
- In many circumstances catheters or similar medical lines are inserted percutaneously into the skin of a patient and must remain in place for extended periods of time. To insure that the catheter remains in place, it is known to create frameworks out of strips of adhesive tape to secure the catheter tube to the patient's skin in the proper orientation and to preclude accidental removal. Catheters used with infants are particularly susceptible to accidental dislodgement. In addition to the frameworks created out of strips of adhesive tape by medical staff, dedicated catheter or similar medical-line securement devices have been developed for this purpose. Examples of such devices are seen in U.S. Pat. No. 3,138,158 to Gordon et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,519,793 to Galindo, U.S. Pat. No. 4,699,616 to Nowak et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,411 to Edmunds, U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,380 to Hesketh, U.S. Pat. No. 5,224,935 to Hollands, U.S. Pat. No. 4,915,694 to Yamamoto et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,232,453 to Plass et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,370,627 to Conway, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,866,652 to Bierman. Each of these patented devices suffer drawbacks of one form or another, and it is an object of this invention to provide a novel and improved catheter securement device that addresses these drawbacks.
- It is an object of this invention to provide a catheter securement device that secures a catheter oriented generally perpendicularly to skin of a patient, wherein the device is quickly and easily applied to or removed from the patient and the catheter.
- The slotted catheter securement device comprises in general a base member adhesively attachable to the skin of a patient and a pair of bridging members connected to the base member whereby the bridging members can be pivoted or folded upward to contact each other, with at least one bridging member being provided with an adhesive capable of adhering to the other bridging member and to the portion of the catheter disposed between the two bridging members. The bridging members are preferably defined as unattached portions of a securing member selectively attached to a portion of the base member, the base member and securing member being composed of sheet material. Preferably, the securing member and the base member have matching configurations such that both have an open interior with a slot of greater width than the catheter diameter extending from the interior through the body of the base and securing members. This slotted structure allows the catheter securement device to be positioned or removed with the catheter already in place on the patient. Additionally, the securing member and base member may have anchor pads that provide added stability. The anchor pads extend perpendicular to, and in the same plane as the securing member and base member.

Both thebase member 11 and thesecuring member 21 are composed of flexible sheet material, such that each is relatively thin in vertical cross-section. Thebase member 11 is adapted for adhesion to theskin 91 of a patient and may be composed for example of a medical grade adhesive bandage material, such as a polymer film provided with a layer of adhesive, or a self-adhering material such as a hydrocolloid patch, whereby thebase member 11 can be applied to theskin 91, will remain adhered for a suitable time period and then easily removed. Thebase member 11 comprises anupper surface 12, alower surface 13, aninternal edge 14 and anexternal edge 15. Thebase member 11internal edge 14 defines aninterior opening 61. Aslot 62 extends from the interior opening 61 completely through and across the body of thebase member 11. Preferably theinternal edge 14 and theexternal edge 15 are circular in configuration as shown, such that thebase member 11 is generally C-shaped and theinterior opening 61 is generally circular, Additionally, theinternal edge 14 and theexternal edge 15 may feature anchor pads, for instanceinternal anchor pads external anchor pad FIG. 8 . Theseanchor pads internal edge 14 andexternal edge 15, respectively, along the same plane as thebase member 11. As shown, theanchor pads anchor pads base member 11 contacts the patient'sskin 91. As a result, thebase member 11 is more securely attached to the patient'sskin 91. This helps to prevent thebase member 11 from pulling away from the patient'sskin 91 when the securement device is in use. As illustrated, twointernal anchor pads external anchor pads base member 11 could be oval, rectangular or any other configuration. - Preferably the configuration of the securing
member 21 matches that of thebase member 11, such that the securingmember 21 is likewise generally C-shaped. The securingmember 21 may also haveinternal anchor pads external anchor pads FIGS. 10-15 . The securingmember 21 may be composed of a flexible material suitable tar use in medical applications, such as a tape, polymer or fabric material, and must possess sufficient strength such that movement of thecatheter 92 will be suitably restricted, when the device is in use. The securingmember 21 comprises anupper surface 22, alower surface 23, aninternal edge 24 and anexternal edge 25. Theinternal edge 24 of the securingmember 21 also preferably defines theinterior opening 61, andslot 62 extends from theinterior opening 61 completely through and across the body of the securingmember 21. - The
base member 11 and securingmember 21 are selectively joined in a co-planar relationship, the junction being non-coextensive. A mountingadhesive layer 51 is applied to opposing sides of the either the base memberupper surface 12 or the securing memberlower surface 23, preferably in the shape of a strip extending across theinterior opening 61, such that a portion of the mountingadhesive layer 51 is on one side of theopening 61 and a portion of the mountingadhesive layer 51 is on the opposite side of theopening 61. The mountingadhesive layer 51 is preferably oriented at an angle of between about 20 to 60 degrees relative to theslot 62, with an angle of about 35 degrees being most preferable. The width of the mountingadhesive layer 51 is preferably sized such that it does not encompass theslot 62. Any adhesive material suitable for use in medical applications and capable of bonding thebase member 11 and securingmember 21 may be utilized. Alternatively, other joining methodologies such as heat bonding, stitching, etc. may be used. - In this manner the securing
member 21 is divided into at least four defined segments, two of the segments being disposed on opposite sides of theinterior opening 61 and being segments wherein the securingmember 21 is joined to thebase member 11, and two of the segments likewise disposed on opposite sides of theinterior opening 61 and being segments that are not coextensively joined to thebase member 11. These latter segments are afirst bridging member 31 and asecond bridging member 41.

Second bridgingmember 41 comprises a first attachedend 42 and a second attachedend 43, both of which operate in a hinge-like manner. Anexternal anchor pad 70 a andinternal anchor pad 72 a may be located where the attachedend 32 of the first bridgingmember 31 and the first attachedend 42 of second bridgingmember 41 meet. This is often helpful as this point can be subject to heightened levels or pressure or stress. With this structure, the first bridgingmember 31 is a flap-like member that is free to fold away and upward from thebase member 11 toward the center of thecatheter securement device 10. Likewise, thesecond bridging member 41 is a flap-like member that is flee to fold away and upward from thebase member 11 toward the center of thecatheter securement device 10, as shown inFIGS. 5 , 6 and 15. - At least one of the
upper surfaces 22 of the first andsecond bridging members upper surfaces 22, are provided with a securingadhesive layer 52 capable of joining the first andsecond budging members catheter 92 secured therebetween. Any adhesive suitable for use in medical applications that possesses the requisite characteristics of being able to securely yet releasably join the two bridgingmembers 31 can be utilized. Preferably, a silicone-based adhesive or silicone-compatible adhesive is utilized, since it is also desirable that the securingadhesive layer 52 also adhere to thecatheter 92 itself. Theadhesive layer 52 is not required to fully extend to the tip of thefree end 33, as shown inFIG. 7 . In certain embodiments, as also illustrated inFIG. 7 , it may be necessary to provide a base,adhesive layer 53 between the securingadhesive layer 52 and the bridgingmembers adhesive layer 52 is not suitable for adhesion to the material of choice for the securingmember 21. - The
catheter securement device 10 is preferably packaged with a lowerrelease liner member 80 and an upperrelease liner member 82, as shown inFIGS. 8-15 and as well known in the art. With thecatheter 92 properly inserted and any lowerrelease liner member 80 removed from thelower surface 13 of thebase member 11, thecatheter securement device 10 is properly positioned on the patient encircling thecatheter 92 by advancing the device such thatcatheter 92 passes throughslot 62. Thebase member 11 is then adhered to the patient'sskin 91 with thecatheter 92 centered in theinterior opening 61. The upperrelease liner member 82 is then removed to expose the securingadhesive layer 52 on one or both of the bridgingmembers FIGS. 12-15 . The bridging,members catheter 92 in between.
