Abstract

The invention relates to a nasogastric tube securement system. The system can include a base layer and a coupling layer. The base layer can be configured to be adhered to a nose, having a first majorsurface comprising a skin-contact adhesive and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The coupling layer can include a first end comprising coupling means configured to be repositionably coupled to the second major surface of the base layer, a second end configured to secure a nasogastric tube, and a middle section connecting the first end and the second end. The middle section can be elongated along a longitudinal direction, and the second end can include at least two legs extending downwardly from the first end, each leg separated from an adjacent leg by an acute angle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to nasogastric tube fixation systems and methods of use thereof, and in particular to systems configured for fixation to the skin. Background technique [0002] During patient treatment (eg, in a hospital, and especially in an intensive care unit (ICU)), the insertion of tubes may be required for various purposes, such as feeding, gas supply and / or fluid removal. Tubes inserted through the nose are known as nasogastric (NG) tubes and can be used for a variety of applications including feeding, drug administration, and / or gastric drainage. It is often necessary to attach such nasogastric tubes to the patient's skin in order to maintain the correct position internally, such as in the stomach. [0003] Some existing devices for NG tube fixation do not allow a medical practitioner (such as a nurse) to intervene or assess the position or level of fixation without removing the tape from the skin, which may cause dama...
