AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Some existing devices for NG tube fixation do not allow a medical practitioner (e.g., a nurse) to intervene or assess the location or level of fixation without removing the adhesive tape from the skin, which can cause damage to the patient's skin (such as skin tearing, redness and / or damage due to changing adhesive)
Other existing devices are large and bulky (e.g., configured to attach around the patient's head), cumbersome to use, reduce patient comfort, and / or cause pressure ulcers

Abstract

The invention provides 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 major surface comprising a skin-contact adhesive and a footprint area of A. 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 first end of the coupling layer can have a footprintarea of at least 0.3A. The middle section can be elongated along a longitudinal direction, and the first end and the second end can each be wider than the middle section in a lateral direction oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction.

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)), insertion of tubes may be required for different purposes, such as feeding, air supply and / or fluid removal. A tube inserted through the nose is known as a nasogastric (NG) tube, and the tube can be used for a variety of applications, including feeding, medication, and / or gastric drainage. Such nasogastric tubes typically need to be attached to the patient's skin in order to maintain the correct position within the body, such as inside the stomach. [0003] Some existing devices for NG tube fixation do not allow a medical practitioner (e.g., a nurse) to intervene or assess the location or level of fixation without removing the adhesive tape from the skin, whic...
