Publication number: 20230414903Abstract: An integrated vascular delivery system having a frame configured to receive a catheter insertable in a patient to deliver fluid at an insertion site. The frame includes a first hub, a second hub, and a pair of flexible lateral members extending between the hubs and including a tubular lateral member. The system also includes a fluidic channel that fluidically communicates with the catheter, wherein the fluidic channel passes through the tubular lateral member and at least one of the hubs, and includes a fixed turnabout portion in which fluid flows in a direction different from that within the catheter. The first and second hubs provide anchoring points on the patient distributed around the insertion site and on opposite ends of the catheter, thereby anchoring the frame to the patient and stabilizing the catheter. A method is provided for using an integrated vascular delivery system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Steven B.

Patent number: 8771230Abstract: An integrated vascular delivery system and method of use, the system including: a frame having a catheter hub that provides a first anchoring point on the patient and receives a catheter insertable in the patient to transfer fluid at an insertion site, a stabilization hub that provides a second anchoring point on the patient, at least one lateral member extending between the catheter and stabilization hubs, and a fluidic channel. The frame operates in a folded configuration in which the hubs are coupleable and an unfolded configuration in which the anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter. In some embodiments, the system further includes a septum that helps prevent fluid leakage from the catheter hub, or a needle shield that covers the distal end of a needle used during catheter insertion.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Tangent Medical Technologies, LLCInventors: Steven B.

Publication number: 20120016312Abstract: A catheter stabilization device for stabilizing an inserted catheter penetrating a surface at a catheter insertion site, including: a base that is coupleable to the surface and includes a channel defining a longitudinal opening that receives a portion of the catheter, and a frame that forms at least a partial perimeter around the catheter insertion site with a plurality of anchoring points; and a catheter fitting, coupled to the base, that secures the catheter in the channel. The base couples to the surface at the plurality of anchoring points distributed around the catheter insertion site, thereby stabilizing the catheter. The method of using the device includes positioning the base over the catheter, receiving a portion of the catheter in the channel through the longitudinal opening, securing the catheter within the channel, and coupling the base to the surface at the plurality of anchoring points distributed around the insertion site.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Inventors: Henry J.H.
