SUPPORT DEVICE FOR PLACEMENT OF PERIPHERAL VENOUS CATHETER AS INTRAOSSEOUS ACCESS.

Abstract

The present invention is a medical device designed to quickly, safely, and efficiently transform a standard peripheral venous catheter into an intraosseous access device, especially in emergency situations or resource-limited environments. Its modular and assembleable structure provides support and stability to the catheter, allowing its insertion into bone tissue without the need for expensive, specialized equipment. This design aims to optimize response time in critical scenarios, such as resuscitation or for patients with difficult venous access, expanding the possibilities for immediate care. The invention is characterized by its portability, ease of use, and adaptability to different catheter sizes, representing an innovative and accessible alternative to conventional intraosseous systems. Therefore, this device contributes to improving the care of critically ill patients requiring emergency vascular access.
