Patent number: 6273873Abstract: A fixation device for fixating a catheter relative to a skin surface part of a person which catheter defines an outer diameter and is introduced into the interior of the person through the skin surface part substantially perpendicularly relative thereto through a perforation site. The fixation device comprises a pad element to be arranged adjacent to the perforation site and defining a convex marginal surface having a radius of curvature of at least one order of magnitude larger than the outer diameter of the catheter. The marginal surface provides a support surface in relation to the catheter positioned in facial contact therewith for arranging the catheter in a loop and turning the catheter from an orientation substantially perpendicularly relative to the skin surface part to an orientation substantially parallelly with the skin surface part and for preventing the catheter from sliding along the marginal surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1999Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: Maersk Medical A/SInventor: Philip Fleischer
