Abstract

A securement device holds a medical article having flexible portions in position upon the body of a patient and inhibits movement of the medical article. The medical article may be insertable into the securement device from above, from below, or along a longitudinal axis of the device. The securement device may have abutment surfaces which interact with the flexible portions of the medical article to further inhibit rotation of the device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A securement device for securing a medical article, comprising:
a first anchor pad and a second anchor pad laterally offset from a midline, each of the first anchor pad and the second anchor pad having a foam layer disposed on an underside thereof, the foam layer including an adhesive surface configured to attach to a skin surface of a patient; and
a retainer positioned on an upper surface of each of the first anchor pad and the second anchor pad, the retainer comprising:
a first proximal member and a second proximal member, each extending downward from a central portion and defining a proximal retention surface therebetween;
a first distal member and a second distal member, each extending downward from the central portion and defining a distal retention surface, wherein:
the first distal member includes a first distal member footing in direct contact with the first anchor pad, and
the second distal member includes a second distal member footing in direct contact with the second anchor pad, the second distal member footing having a portion positioned proximal of a proximal edge of the first distal member footing; and

a third distal member disposed laterally between the first and second distal members, and extending downward from the central portion.

2. The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second anchor pads are shaped so as to allow ingress and egress of a portion of the medical article therebetween.

3. The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second proximal members are configured to inhibit longitudinal movement of the medical article.

4. The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second distal members are configured to inhibit longitudinal movement of the medical article.

5. The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the central portion of the retainer comprises a scalloped cutout on an underside of the central portion.

6. A securement device for receiving a catheter, the catheter comprising a flexible, laterally extending first wing extending from a first side of a central body, a flexible, laterally extending second wing extending from a second side of the central body, and an angled portion in fluid communication with the central body, the angled portion providing a luminal path between a tip of the catheter and tubing connected to the angled portion, the securement device comprising:
a first anchor pad including a cutout portion with a shape of the first wing;
a second anchor pad, separated from the first anchor pad, the second anchor pad including a cutout portion with a shape of the second wing; and
a retainer comprising:
a central body defining a channel to receive the central body of the catheter;
a proximal support for the central body of the retainer comprising a proximal first foot extending from a first side of the central body at a proximal end thereof, and a proximal second foot extending from a second side of the central body at the proximal end, wherein the proximal first foot has a first edge adjacent a proximal edge of the cutout portion of the first anchor pad, and wherein the proximal second foot has a second edge adjacent a proximal edge of the cutout portion of the second anchor pad;
a distal support for the central body comprising a distal first foot extending from the first side of the central body at a distal end thereof, and a distal second foot extending from the second side of the central body at the distal end, wherein:
the distal first foot is in direct contact with the first anchor pad and has a first edge adjacent a distal edge of the cutout portion of the first anchor pad,
the distal second foot is in direct contact with the second anchor pad and has a second edge adjacent a distal edge of the cutout portion of the second anchor pad,
the distal first foot is separated from the proximal first foot,
the distal second foot is separated from the proximal second foot, and
the distal first foot has a proximal end proximal of a proximal end of the distal second foot.

7. The securement device of claim 6 , wherein the angled portion is in a plane of the first wing such that the first wing is smaller than the second wing.

8. The securement device of claim 6 , wherein the proximal first foot and the proximal second foot are orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the central body.

9. The securement device of claim 6 , wherein each of the first anchor pad and the second anchor pad comprise a foam layer including an adhesive surface configured to attach to a patient.

10. The securement device of claim 6 , wherein the distal support includes abutment surfaces configured to inhibit longitudinal translation of the central body secured within the channel.

11. The securement device of claim 10 , wherein the proximal support includes abutment surfaces configured to inhibit longitudinal translation of the central body secured within the channel.

12. The securement device of claim 6 , wherein the central body includes a scalloped region on the first side to accommodate the angled portion of the catheter.

13. The securement device of claim 6 , wherein the retainer further comprises an extension member at the distal end between the channel and the distal first foot.
