The invention relates to a protective device for intravenous cannulas (4) with a connecting element (7) having two wings (13) and with a two-way
stopcock valve (8). During
assembly, this connecting element (7) is encompassed by a recess (10") located on the underside of the base plate (16) of the cannula support body (2) such that the intravenous cannula (4) is securely attached to the
skin surface of the respective body part after being adhered, resisting tension, pressure, and rotation. Additionally, the connecting element (7) is secured against pressure and rotation by a recess (10) that is matched to its shape and height. The central part of the cannula support body (2), which is essentially shaped like a trapezoidal
prism, is tunnel-shaped and rounded on all sides, as are the corners of the base plate (16). The fixation film (3), which covers the cannula (5), the
insertion site, and the sheathed cannula (11), is self-
adhesive on its underside and has a removable
release liner.This is also the case with the cannula support (2). The transparent fixation film (3) and the cannula support (2) are made of flexible material, ensuring a snug fit against the
skin of the respective body part. To facilitate application of the fixation film (3), it is provided with a circumferential border (14) and an attached tab (15). Both aids are removed after the fixation film (3) has been applied. The cannula support (2) is also provided with a viewing window (12) for checking the
insertion site.
