Abstract: A medical dressing (100) with a dressing body (102) and a flap (104). The flap can include a fixed end (120) coupled to the dressing body, and a free end (122) movable with respect to the dressing body between a first position and a second position in which the free end is positioned in overlapping relationship with the dressing body. A second major surface (116) of at least the free end of the flap can be configured to be secured to the dressing body, and the flap can be located toward a proximal end of the dressing body, such that a distal portion of the dressing body is free of the flap. The dressing body can be adhered to skin with a skin-contact adhesive (e.g., a silicone adhesive) (115), and the flap can be secured to the dressing body with a securing adhesive (e.g. an acrylate adhesive) (117) that can have a higher adhesion or adhesive strength.

Abstract: The disclosed support device includes a contained cushioning element, which allowing for cleaning of the support device but limiting absorption of fluid into the cushioning element. The support device comprises a backing layer, a cushioning element, and a base layer. The backing layer comprises a first surface and second surface, opposite the first surface, wherein the backing layer is highly moisture vapor permeable and the first surface of the backing layer is liquid water impermeable. The cushioning element is positioned adjacent the second surface of the backing layer. The base layer comprises a first surface adjacent the cushioning element and a second surface, opposite the first surface of the cushioning element. The base layer is highly moisture vapor permeable. The base layer is entirely contiguous. The second surface of the base layer comprises an adhesive. The base layer and backing layer connect entirely around the cushioning element.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A securement device for securing a medical article is disclosed. The securement device comprises a base and a first securing portion comprising a strap that is movable between an open position and a closed position and a connector disposed on the base. The strap cooperates with the connector in the closed position to form an enclosure. The strap further comprises a curvilinear segment that projects inwardly into the enclosure in a convex orientation when the strap is in the closed position. Securement systems for securing medical articles and methods of securing at least a portion of a medical article to a patient are also provided.
