Abstract
A securement device for catheter tubes and polymer coated cables includes a base mounted on a support surface, and male and female straps, the male straps having locking members that mate with corresponding apertures in the female straps. The male and female straps connect to a base via fixed ends of the respective male and female straps, and each of the fixed ends comprises a curved portion configured to orient the corresponding unsecured strap substantially parallel to the base. Each of the fixed ends of the male straps mate with the fixed ends of the corresponding female strap, thereby forming a crease for seating the tube or cable being secured.
Claims20
A securement device for securing a medical tube or cable, comprising:
- a base having a length, a width, a top side, and a bottom side;
- a female strap extending substantially transversely from the base, the female strap having a length extending from a fixed end attached to the top side of the base to a free end, and a plurality of apertures spaced along the length of the female strap, the fixed end comprising a curved portion;
- a male strap extending substantially transversely from the base, the male strap having a length extending from a fixed end attached to the top side of the base to a free end, the fixed end comprising a curved portion, and the male strap comprising a plurality of flexible locking members disposed in pairs along the length of the male strap;
- wherein the locking members on the male strap are configured for releasably mating with the apertures in the female strap;
- and
- the respective male and female fixed ends disposed in a mating, overlapping orientation such that the curved portion of the fixed end of the female strap and the curved portion of the fixed end of the male strap define a crease for seating the tube or cable.
A securement device for securing a medical tube or cable, comprising:
- a base having a length, a width, a top side, and a bottom side;
- a first female strap extending substantially transversely from the base, the first female strap having a length extending from a fixed end attached to the top side of the base to a free end, and a plurality of apertures spaced along the length of the first female strap, the fixed end comprising a curved portion having a recess;
- a second female strap extending substantially transversely from the base at a position longitudinally spaced from the first female strap, the second female strap having a length extending from a fixed end attached to the top side of the base to a free end, and a plurality of apertures therein spaced along the length of the second female strap, the fixed end comprising a curved portion having a recess;
- a first male strap extending substantially transversely from the base, the first male strap having a length extending from a fixed end attached to the top side of the base to a free end, the fixed end comprising a curved portion, and the first male strap comprising a plurality of flexible locking members disposed in pairs along the length of the first male strap;
- and
- a second male strap extending substantially transversely from the base at a position longitudinally spaced from the first male strap, the second male strap having a length extending from a fixed end attached to the top side of the base to a free end, the fixed end having a curved portion, and the second male strap comprising a plurality of flexible locking members disposed in pairs along the length of the second male strap;
- the locking members on the first and second male straps are configured for releasably mating with the apertures in the first and second female straps, respectively;
- the respective male and female fixed ends disposed in a mating, overlapping orientation such that the curved portion of the fixed end of each female strap and the curved portion of the fixed end of the corresponding male strap defining a crease for seating the tube or cable.
