Highly uniform spunbonded nonwoven fabrics

a non-woven fabric, high-quality technology, applied in the direction of catheters, filtration separation, separation processes, etc., can solve the problems of catheter tube holders not providing adequate adhesion between the patient's skin and the catheter insertion site, and the catheter anchoring and supporting system and devices do not address the desirable, so as to reduce the risk of contamination, reduce the risk of patient infection, and easily secure the catheter to the patient's skin

Benefits of technology

The present catheter tube anchoring device helps to reduce the risk of contamination and infection in patients. It is easy to use and securely attaches the catheter to the patient's skin, reducing pain and discomfort. It achieves this by using tabs and a retaining assembly to guide the catheter through the vein and secure it in place. This device is much more effective and efficient than previous methods and provides better protection against infection.

Problems solved by technology

However, these catheter anchoring and supporting system and devices do not address the desirable feature of aiding in the insertion of a catheter cannula into a catheter insertion site (e.g., a vein) of a patient.
Further, these catheter tube holders do not provide adequate adhesion between the patient's skin and the catheter insertion site to prevent a substantial displacement of the inserted cannula from the insertion site such as when any outward force is applied to the catheter tubing when moving a patient or when a patient is moving the area having the cannula inserted therein.

Abstract

A catheter anchoring system, apparatus and method for securing a catheter to a patient's skin, having two flexible side members and a cross-member therebetween to which a retaining assembly is mounted. The retaining assembly may hold a catheter hub at an angle for patient comfort. Gripping tabs secure to each retaining assembly side are gripped while advancing a cannula guide needle into the patient's vein and while attaching the catheter hub to a medical accessory, such as intravenous (I.V.) tubing, for increased patient comfort, reduction of the risk in contamination and patient infection, and to more easily and quickly start an I.V.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The subject disclosure relates to catheter anchoring and supporting devices, and more specifically relates to catheter anchoring system, apparatus and method characterized by a removably mountable anchoring device for receiving a catheter hub of a catheter assembly, such that the anchoring device may be used as a guide to insert a cannula guide needle and associated cannula (e.g., intravenous cannula) of a catheter assembly into a patient's vein. Mounting the anchoring device to the patient limits movement of the catheter assembly in relation to the patient after cannula insertion. The anchoring device may dispose the catheter cannula at a preferred angle in relation to the patient. The anchoring device is shaped to facilitate asepsis when wrapped with an aseptic dressing. The subject disclosure is particularly relevant to aiding in the insertion of an intravenous (I.V.) cannula, increasing patient comfort and safety, reducing the risk of I.V. site contamination...
