Abstract
A ventriculostomy patch system is disclosed herein. The ventriculostomy patch system including a base-ring, and a window assembly. The base-ring includes a circular body, with the circular-body having an outer-surface, an inner-surface, a top-surface, and a bottom-surface. The bottom-surface includes a catheter-notch; the catheter-notch is configured for removably retaining a ventriculostomy catheter. The base-ring further includes at least two dome-tabs, each of the at least two dome-tabs located upon the outer surface of the base-ring. Preferably, the base-ring is constructed from anti-microbial materials. The window assembly includes an external-ring and a window, where the window assembly is removably affixable to the top-surface of the base-ring.
Claims14
A ventriculostomy patch system for placing a catheter on a scalp of a user, the system comprising:
- a base defined by a body including:
- an aperture through the body defining an enclosed area,
- an inner surface wall defining boundaries of the enclosed area of the aperture,
- an outer surface wall surrounding the inner surface wall, the outer surface wall defining outer boundaries of the body,
- a bottom surface extending between the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall,
- a top surface extending between the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall, the top surface disposed opposite the bottom surface, and
- a notch that extends across a portion of the bottom surface, the notch extending through the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall, and the notch being sized to removably retain the catheter upon use of the system, where the use of the system includes placement of the catheter under the base on the scalp of the user, such that the bottom surface abuts the scalp on lateral sides of the catheter to retain the catheter in position against the scalp during the use of the system;
- and
- a window assembly that is removably affixable to the top surface of the base to provide a cover over the enclosed area of the base, the window assembly including:
- a frame defining boundaries of a viewing area, the frame being sized to cover the enclosed area of the base, and
- a transparent window spanning the viewing area.
A ventriculostomy patch system for placing a catheter on a scalp of a user, the system comprising:
- a first component;
- and
- a second component configured to attach and detach from the first component,
- wherein the first component is configured to be placed on the scalp of the user, and
- wherein the first component includes a body including:
- an aperture through the body defining an enclosed area,
- an inner surface wall defining boundaries of the enclosed area of the aperture,
- an outer surface wall surrounding the inner surface wall, the outer surface wall defining outer boundaries of the body,
- a bottom surface extending between the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall,
- a top surface extending between the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall, the top surface disposed opposite the bottom surface, and
- a notch that extends across a portion of the bottom surface, the notch extending through the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall, and the notch being sized to removably retain the catheter upon use of the system, where the use of the system includes placement of the catheter under the first component on the scalp of the user, such that the bottom surface abuts the scalp on lateral sides of the catheter to retain the catheter in position against the scalp during the use of the system, and
- wherein the second component includes a window assembly that is removably affixable to the top surface of the first component to provide a cover over the enclosed area of the first component, the window assembly including:
- a frame defining boundaries of a viewing area, the frame being sized to cover the enclosed area of the first component, and
- a window spanning the viewing area.
