Problems solved by technology

However, kinks in medical tubing still occur when the diameters of the cylindrical spool and the knob are too small
On the other hand, if the diameter of the cylindrical reel and the knob is too large, the device is not only bulky, but also causes the medical tube to slide along the reel and the knob, so that the device cannot secure the medical tube.

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to the drawings, and in particular to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a device (hereinafter referred to as "this embodiment") for securing and securing at least one medical device at a venipuncture site, designated generally by the numeral (10).

[0026] This embodiment (10) is preferably made of a semi-flexible transparent material that retains its shape. This embodiment (10) includes a convex cover (20) with a hollow interior. The cap (20) has at least one opening (30) for receiving a medical tube (90), and an arcuate opening (31) at the other end, which is used to avoid putting excessive pressure on the vein or where the medical device is located subcutaneously. part. The lid (20) is preferably pivotally movable between open and closed positions.

[0027] The lid (20) is integrally provided with support members (40a), preferably in the form of arcuately elongated walls within the lid, located near opposite ends of the lid opening (30). The support member...

Abstract

A device for protecting and securing at least a medical device at a venipuncture site and having at least a supporting member (40a) in which the medical tube (90) winds around to form a loop, and having retaining members (50a and 51) to retain the loop formed around an arch-shaped passageway. The arch- shaped passageway serves to provide sufficient radical length of the medical tube (90) to disallow displacement of the medical tube (90) upon application of stretch force on the medical tube, resulting from any inadvertent retraction of the medical tube, and maintaining an unobstructed flow of fluid in the medical tube. The device includes a cover (20) with a hollow interior. The device contains retaining members to cater for both larger and thin medical tube sizes. The cover (20) comprises an opening (30) at one end of the cover to receive a portion of medical tube, and an arch-shaped opening (31) at the other end which serves to avoid putting undue pressure on venipuncture site or on part of the medical device which is subcutaneously-located. The device is pivotally movable between an open position wherein the venipuncture site is exposed and a close position wherein the venipuncture site is covered and protected. The device further comprises a fastening member to secure the device to the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for protecting and securing medical instruments at the site of venipuncture. In particular, the present invention relates to a device for protecting and securing a venipuncture site to prevent accidental movement of a catheter or IV needle from a patient and to prevent blockage of fluid flow paths caused by sudden straining of medical tubing. Background technique [0002] In the treatment of patients, conventional practice includes the use of catheters or IV needles to draw blood from or infuse patients with fluids and medications. It is therefore necessary to stabilize the position of the catheter and ensure that the catheter or IV needle cannot be accidentally withdrawn. [0003] When the catheter or IV needle is secured to the patient's body, the IV needle / catheter is usually held in a subcutaneous position with a film or tape. However, this simple method does not provide sufficient protection against acci...
