Embodiment Construction

[0046] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a solution to CRBSI. All sources of CRBSI are potential prevention targets, but the focus of the present invention is on infections from skin flora. Specifically, the present invention discloses IV catheter dressing devices that combine covering, antimicrobial, and immobilization functions to combat CRBSI. The integration of this multiple features reduces dressing procedure steps for the practitioner and reduces inventory items for the hospital.

[0047] The present disclosure describes dressing devices designed with absorbent material capable of fluid absorption to avoid accumulation of fluid at or around the catheter insertion site by wicking fluid away from the patient's skin to reduce skin maceration and Incidence of infection. Fluid removal is known to reduce skin maceration, and fluid is transported away from the skin by wicking and absorbing mechanisms. The dressing devices disclosed herein also include an antimicro...

Abstract

We have disclosed dressing devices that combine the functions of coverage of a catheter insertion site, fluid handling capacity for the puncture site of a catheter, and fixation of the catheter. More specifically, we have disclosed dressing devices comprising a base, a pad, and a dressing film, and the devices possess antimicrobial properties. We further disclose a method of making the disclosed dressing devices, a kit comprising the disclosed dressing devices and a catheter fastener means, a method of installing the dressing devices on a patient's skin over an indwelling catheter, and a method of replacing the disclosed dressing devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices for catheter dressings, and to addressing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). Specifically, the devices combine the functions of covering the catheter insertion site, fluid handling capabilities at the catheter puncture site, and catheter fixation, and they also have antimicrobial properties. Background technique [0002] Intravenous (IV) catheters are of particular importance to modern medicine, especially for patients under intensive care or long-term care. Although catheters provide the necessary vascular access for drugs, they place patients at risk for local or systemic infection. Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are potentially fatal to patients and expensive to the healthcare system. Potential infection can arise from three main sources: 1) skin organisms (skin flora) from the patient, healthcare worker, or other patient; 2) contaminated catheter connectors; and / or 3) contam...
