Abstract
A securement device for securing a medical article (102) includes a lid (122) and a single monolithic body (104) including a main portion (110) having a first elastic modulus and defining a cavity (114) configured to receive the medical article therein. The lid is configured to be disposed on the body. The securement device further includes an adhesive film (126) disposed on the body including an extensible backing (128) including at least one gripping region (130), a first adhesive layer (132) bonding the backing to the body, and a second adhesive layer (138) disposed partially on a major surface of the backing opposite to the first adhesive layer.
Claims21
A securement device for securing a medical article, the securement device comprising:
- a single monolithic body comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, the body comprising a main portion defining a cavity extending at least partially from the first major surface towards the second major surface, wherein the cavity is configured to at least partially receive the medical article therein, and wherein the main portion has a first elastic modulus;
- a lid configured to be disposed on the first major surface of the body, wherein the lid is further configured to be detachably attached to the body to secure the medical article within the cavity in a closed position of the lid, wherein the lid has a third elastic modulus that is greater than the first elastic modulus by a factor of at least 2;
- and
- an adhesive film disposed on the second major surface of the body, the adhesive film comprising:
- an extensible backing comprising at least one gripping region;
- a first adhesive layer bonding the backing to the body;
- and
- a second adhesive layer disposed partially on a major surface of the backing opposite to the first adhesive layer, such that the at least one gripping region of the backing is free of the second adhesive layer.
A kit comprising:
- a medical article;
- and
- a securement device for securing the medical article, the securement device comprising:
- a single monolithic body comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, the body comprising a main portion defining a cavity extending at least partially from the first major surface towards the second major surface, wherein the cavity is configured to at least partially receive the medical article therein, and wherein the main portion has a first elastic modulus;
- a lid configured to be disposed on the first major surface of the body, wherein the lid is further configured to be detachably attached to the body to secure the medical article within the cavity in a closed position of the lid, wherein the lid has a third elastic modulus that is greater than the first elastic modulus by a factor of at least 2;
- and
- an adhesive film disposed on the second major surface of the body, the adhesive film comprising:
- an extensible backing comprising at least one gripping region;
- a first adhesive layer bonding the backing to the body;
- and
- a second adhesive layer disposed partially on a major surface of the backing opposite to the first adhesive layer, such that the at least one gripping region of the backing is free of the second adhesive layer.
