Embodiment Construction

[0042] Various embodiments of the invention will now be described in conjunction with the discharge conduit. However, it should be understood that the invention, as described above, can also be used with other types of tubular medical devices.

[0043] figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a catheter 10 according to the invention. Catheter 10 includes a first tubular body 12 and at least one second tubular body 14 . The first tubular body 12 includes an outer surface 16 and at least one inner surface 18 defining at least one chamber 20 . Such as figure 1 As shown in , the chamber 20 extends through the entire length of the catheter 10; however, in other embodiments the chamber 20 may extend through only a portion of the length of the catheter 10, depending on the application of the catheter 10. The first tubular body 12 also includes a wall 22 defined at least in part by the outer surface 16 and the inner surface 18 and a longitudinal axis 24 . The first tubular bod...

Abstract

The invention relates to a design for securing tubes, catheters, drains, or other tubular medical devices within the body of a mammal, for example a human, and methods of securing same. The invention includes a first tubular body and at least one second tubular body. The first tubular body includes an outer surface, an inner surface defining a lumen extending longitudinally at least partially through a length of the tubular body, a wall at least partially defined by the outer surface and the inner surface, and a longitudinal axis. The at least one second tubular body includes an outer surface, an inner surface defining a lumen extending longitudinally through the second tubular body, and a wall at least partially defined by the outer surface and the inner surface. The second tubular body is disposed through the wall of the first tubular body transversely to the longitudinal axis.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to co-pending US Application Serial No. 11 / 754,043, filed May 25, 2007, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to devices for securing catheters or other tubular medical devices within the body of a mammal, and more particularly to catheters with variable attachment means. Background technique [0004] Thousands of tubes, drains and catheters are placed in and removed from the human body every day. All of these tubes, drains and catheters have at least one significant disadvantage. They are very easy to shift, twist, or fall off, or simply fall out. The consequences of the above phenomenon can be serious, as patients can suffer from suction pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, pneumothorax or even death. Manipulation or at least movement to the x-ray suite is necessary for reinsertion o...
