Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Some embodiments of a medical device anchor system include an anchor device, a tether, and an adapter for securing a medical instrument (such as a catheter or the like) in place relative to a skin penetration point using subcutaneous anchors.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method of using a medical anchor system, the method comprising: deploying subcutaneous anchors of a medical anchor system through a skin penetration point that is occupied by a medical instrument, the subcutaneous anchors being deployed in a subcutaneous region along an underside of a skin layer proximate to the skin penetration point, the subcutaneous anchors extending distally from a distal end of a retainer body of the medical anchor system; and securing a first external portion of the medical instrument to a second body of the medical anchor system, the second body being tethered to the retainer body via a flexible member that extends proximally away from a proximal end of the retainer body. 2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising securing a second external portion of the medical instrument to the retainer body of the medical anchor system, wherein the medical instrument is anchored to the skin penetration point via the subcutaneous anchors of the medical anchor system. 3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising trimming the flexible member to remove an excess length of the flexible member that extends proximally away from the second body of the medical anchor system.
