Abstract: A catheter securement device adapted to be adhesively mounted to the skin of a patient to secure a catheter in place, the device having a flexible, thin, sheet-like base member with a distal edge and a midportion, and a releasable, flexible, thin, sheet-like retention member. The retention member may include a first releasable end, a second releasable end, a proximal edge, and a distal edge. The distal edge of the retention member is offset from the distal edge of the base member to define an uplift focus area in the midportion of the base member, such that upward pull on the catheter is transferred to the midportion of the base member to preclude the base member from being peeled from the patient's skin. The retention member may be releasably attached to the base member using a hook-and-loop fastener impregnated with adhesive.

Abstract: A catheter securement bandage may include a base layer formed with a multi-ply laminate comprising adhesive, gauze, and plastic layers. A top layer may similarly be formed with a multi-ply laminate comprising a layer adhesive, plastic, gauze, and an added layer of adhesive. By securing a hub portion and lure connector of a catheter, the catheter securement bandage maintains an optimal catheter insertion angle of the catheter into a patent this preventing kinking and obstruction of flow through the catheter.

Abstract: A catheter securement device that is mounted to the skin of a patient to secure a catheter with a hub and at least one tube member. The catheter securement device may include a flexible, thin, sheet-like base member and a releasable, flexible, thin, sheet-like retention member. The retention member may include at least one vertical slit that extends substantially perpendicular from the distal edge. The tube member may extend through the vertical slit. Also, a hole may be located between the distal edge and the proximal edge at the vertical slit. Additional vertical slits may be located about the retention member to accommodate additional tube members. The slits allow the tube members to extend from the retention member substantially midway between a distal edge and a proximal edge of the retention member, which in turn allows forces on the catheter to be transmitted to the middle of the base member.

Abstract: A catheter securement device that adheres to the skin of a patient having an epidural catheter or similar small flexible tube member inserted percutaneously, the securement device having a flexible, sheet-like main body member capable of adhering to the skin of the patient, a double notched pad member over which the catheter is bent, and a releasable retention member to secure the catheter onto the main body member.

Abstract: A stoma stopper securement dressing having a base member formed of a thin, flexible, skin-conforming sheet material having an adhesive coating on its underside for securing the base member to a skin surface, an opening in the base member to allow for passage of a stopper shaft therethrough, and a thin, flexible, releasable strap member attached to the base member, one end of the strap member being fixed to the based member and the other end of the strap member being a free end, such that the strap member can be opened to expose the opening for insertion or removal of a stoma stopper and can be closed to retain the stoma stopper therein.
