Intravenous Catheter Stabilizing Device
US Patent:
6258066, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Mar 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/264601
Inventors:
Rex W. Urich - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
A61M 532
US Classification:
604174
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new intravenous catheter stabilizing device comprising a disposable catheter assembly and a reusable strap having a hole or aperture therein. The catheter assembly includes a hub portion and a catheter, as is conventional in the art. The aperture or hole in the strap is configured such that the hub of a catheter assembly may extend at least partially therethrough. The strap of the present invention has attachment means located thereon and proximal to the aperture for attaching the catheter assembly to the strap such that the hub portion of the catheter assembly extends at least partially through the aperture of the strap. The strap further includes fastening means for securing the strap around a limb of a patient. When the device of the present invention is assembled and used as intended on a limb of a patient, the hub of the catheter partially extends through the aperture in the strap thereby allowing attachment of an intravenous tube with a standard luer lock mechanism. In this configuration, the device protects the attached catheter hub and secures it against the limb of a patient and adjacent to the venipuncture site.
