Integrated vascular delivery system

An integrated vascular delivery system adapted to be placed on a patient, comprising:

• a frame including:
• a catheter hub providing a first anchoring point on the patient, wherein the catheter hub is configured to receive a catheter insertable in a patient to transfer a fluid at an insertion site;
• a stabilization hub providing a second anchoring point on the patient;
• and
• a flexible lateral member extending between the catheter and stabilization hubs;
• and
• a fluidic channel that fluidically communicates with the catheter;
• wherein the frame operates in:
• a folded configuration wherein the catheter and stabilization hubs are coupleable;
• and
• an unfolded configuration wherein the first and second anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter.

A method for using an integrated vascular delivery system on a patient, comprising the steps of:

• providing a frame, wherein the frame includes a catheter hub that receives a catheter, and a stabilization hub;
• folding the catheter hub and stabilization hub towards one another, thereby folding the frame into a folded configuration;
• coupling the catheter hub and stabilization hub to one another;
• inserting the catheter into the patient at an insertion site;
• unfolding the frame such that the frame surrounds the insertion site in an unfolded configuration;
• and
• securing the frame to the patient at a plurality of anchoring points distributed around the insertion site, thereby stabilizing the catheter relative to the insertion site.

• and
• a septum disposed in the catheter hub and including:
• a rigid core having a core wall defining an aperture and a plurality of members extending from the core;
• and
• an elastomeric plug circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of members and defining a septum cavity;
• wherein the frame operates in:
• a folded configuration wherein the catheter and stabilization hubs are coupleable;
• and
• an unfolded configuration wherein the first and second anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter.

A septum in a fluid delivery system adapted to be placed on a patient, comprising:

• a rigid core having a core wall defining an elongated aperture;
• two members extending approximately perpendicularly from the core wall, wherein the two members are separated and approximately parallel;
• a cylindrical elastomeric plug circumferentially surrounding the two members and having a distal face opposing the wall of the rigid core and a proximal face occluding the aperture of the core wall;
• wherein a diameter of the elastomeric plug is smaller than a diameter of the core wall, such that the core wall forms a flange;
• wherein the distal face of the elastomeric plug defines a primary seal and the proximal face of the elastomeric plug provides a secondary seal;
• and
• wherein the two members, the primary seal, and the secondary seal cooperatively define a cavity.
