Embodiment Construction

[0032] One embodiment of a pad 10 for patient contact and heat exchange adjacent to an intravascular (IV) catheter application site is in figure 1 and figure 2 shown in . The IV site liner 10 may include an opening 12 extending through the IV site liner 10 , wherein the opening 12 is defined by an opening edge 14 of the IV site liner 10 . The opening 12 can be configured such that an opening edge 14 can be positioned around at least a portion of the IV catheter introduction site. Optionally, a slit 17 may be provided through the IV site liner 10 and may extend from the opening 12 of the IV site liner 10 to the side 15a. The slit 17 helps position the IV site liner 10 relative to the IV catheter application site before or after the IV catheter is percutaneously positioned at the IV catheter application site.

[0033] Additionally, the IV site liner 10 may include an adhesive surface 18 on its skin-contacting side for adhering the IV site liner 10 in fixed relation to the IV...

Abstract

An intravascular catheter site pad is provided for thermal exchange (e.g. cooling) adjacent to a catheter introduction site (e.g. a catheter for the administration of a chemotherapeutic agent). The pad includes an opening defined by an opening edge that may be positioned about the catheter introduction site. The pad may further include a fluid containing layer and an inlet port and an outlet port for circulating fluid (e.g. cooled fluid) through the pad. The pad may be fluidly interconnected to a fluid conditioning unit to circulate fluid through the pad under negative pressure. The pad, system and an associated method may be employed to reduce tissue damage at an IV catheter introduction site.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 060,136, filed October 6, 2014, entitled "PAD, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING THERMOTHERAPY AT INTRAVASCULAR CATHEISTRATION SITE," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth of. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a pad, method and system for providing thermal therapy at an intravascular catheter application site, wherein the present invention is particularly suitable for use with intravascular administration of chemotherapeutic agents to reduce undesired tissue trauma. Background technique [0004] Undesirable tissue reactions that accompany IV catheter administration of medical fluids can occur when the administered fluid drains from the patient's intravenous or intravascular (IV) catheter and enters the subcutaneous or subcutaneous tissue surrounding the site of administration. In par...
