Abstract: The present invention relates to an imaging device designed with the intent of visualizing subcutaneous structures within an organism. Visualization of subcutaneous structures will increase the speed and accuracy with which medical treatments requiring insertion of instruments into these structures can be performed. Especially fluid insertions into or extractions from an organism will be facilitated as the device is adapted to be placed upon the organism in a manner giving continued full mobility for the recipient and operator of the device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-kinking device, in particular for supporting and stabilising an infusion tubing for fluid infusion in a safety loop, comprising means for receiving and fixing the infusion tubing in connection with a catheter inserted into a superficial vein or the like and connected to an infusion container via the infusion tubing, said device being fixable to a patient in order to relieve the tension of the tubing at the point of insertion. This provides a device for flexible support of an infusion tubing to create a safety loop in a simple and flexible manner.
