Abstract

The present invention pertains to a flexible universal catheter securement device having a longitudinal axis perpendicular to a transverse axis. The securement device preferably secures catheters with a hub. The device has a lower base attached to an upper base having a first integral securement strap and a second integral securement strap. The lower base has an upper side and a lower side, each having an adhesive. When the first strap and second strap are in an open position, the straps extend longitudinally from the upper base at folding lines parallel to the transverse axis. The straps are preferably separated by a circular opening smaller than the outside diameter of the hub. Each strap has an inside edge, where the inside edge comprises a portion of the circular opening and the inside edge is longer than the outside edge of the strap.

Dependent claims

A catheter securement device comprising:

a base having a base top surface, a base bottom surface and a first width;
a cover having a cover top surface, a cover bottom surface and a second width;
and
an articulation point having a third width,
the articulation point interconnecting the base with the cover, the cover being articulatable relative to the base via the articulation point between a first position, in which the base top surface is exposed for placing a catheter onto a center line of the base, and a second position, in which the cover top surface is inverted and contacting the base top surface of the base to secure the catheter onto the center line of the base, and
the articulation point being attached to an edge of the base at an attachment point that is laterally offset from the center line of the base, providing clearance for the catheter to extend past the edge and unobstructed by the articulation point when the cover is articulated to the second position
wherein the edge of the base comprises a short edge portion and a long edge portion that is longer than the short edge portion, the attachment point located between the short edge portion and the long edge portion.
