Patent number: 9604031Abstract: Brackets, systems comprising a bracket, and methods for securing medical articles. The bracket can include a base, a post coupled to the base and extending upwardly from the base in a direction generally normal to a first major surface of the base, and an arm coupled to the base and extending generally parallel to the first major surface of the base. The arm can be spaced a distance from the first major surface of the base to define a channel under the arm that is dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the medical article. The arm can be cantilevered, and the post and the arm can each be fixed with respect to the base. Methods can include abutting an external surface of the medical article against the post; and moving a portion of the medical article into the channel defined by the arm.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Steven B. Heinecke, Phong V. Ha, Donald G. Peterson, Daniel P. DeCabooter, Matthew H. Fryxell, Jia Hu, Peter M. Eisenberg, Thomas G. Skulley

Patent number: 9457169Abstract: A medical article securement system comprising a bracket and a flap for securing a medical article. The bracket can include a base, and an arm coupled to the base and extending generally parallel to the first major surface of the base. The arm can be spaced a distance from the first major surface of the base to define a channel under the arm that can be dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the medical article. The flap can include a fixed end, and a free end that is movable with respect to the bracket between a first position in which the flap is not positioned over the bracket, and a second position in which at least a portion of the flap is positioned over the bracket to further inhibit movement of the medical article. The fixed end of the flap can be coupled to the bracket.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Donald G. Peterson, Steven B. Heinecke, Phong V. Ha, Daniel P. DeCabooter, Matthew H. Fryxell, Jia Hu, Peter M. Eisenberg, Thomas G. Skulley

Patent number: 9383294Abstract: Hydrophilic articles and methods of using such articles are described. The hydrophilic articles include a hydrophilic layer comprising sintered, acidified silica nanoparticles attached to a substrate. A spacer layer attached to a first portion of the hydrophilic layer defines at least one fluid transport channel bounded on one side by a second portion of the hydrophilic layer. The nanoparticles may include one or both of spherical and elongated nanoparticles.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Inventors: Raymond J. Kenney, Theresa J. Gerten, Daniel P. Decabooter, Naiyong Jing, Garry W. Lachmansingh

Publication number: 20150141949Abstract: The disclosed medical dressing includes multiple adhesives. A first adhesive can strongly secure to the medical device, while a gentle adhesive secures to skin. Therefore, the medical device is secure, while the skin is in contact with a gentle adhesive. Selection of the adhesive, as well as the positioning of the adhesive on the medical dressing disclosed result in a medical dressing that effectively secures a medical device to a patient, while gently securing to skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventors: Daniel P. Decabooter, Steven B. Heinecke, David R. Holm, Richard L. Jacobson, Kevin G. Lundquist, Donald G. Peterson, Jennifer N. Hanson, Kiu-Yuen Tse

Publication number: 20140066882Abstract: A medical article securement system comprising indicia and methods of using same. The indicia can include a representation of a medical article, such that the indicia mimics the appearance of the medical article and provides a visual cue for coupling the medical article to the medical article securement system. The systems can further include a bracket that can comprise the indicia. Methods can include orienting the medical article relative to the medical article securement system in an orientation that matches the indicia, and coupling the medical article to the medical article securement system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Steven B.
