Abstract
A venipuncture base plate assembly includes an adapter and a patient interface platform. The adapter has a substantially flat retention clip and a platform coupled to the retention clip with two or more posts mounted on it. The patient interface platform includes a base pad having a bottom surface coated with an adhesive substance and a base unit coupled to the base pad. The base unit includes a base plate and a retainer mounted on the base plate that supports the adapter at two or more variable angles relative to the base plate.
Claims22
A securement device for a medical article comprising:
- a retainer having a lower surface and at least two pairs of opposing channels;
- and
- an adapter comprising a clip having a pair of legs and a pair of laterally projecting protuberances, the pair of legs being movable towards each other to facilitate adapter being selectively supported by at least the opposing channels at two or more incident angles, wherein the pair of legs move towards each other to facilitate selecting of the incident angle.
A securement device for securing a medical article to a patient's skin at a selected incident angle, comprising:
- a retainer;
- and
- an adapter being selectively coupled to the retainer by interengaging structure and being configured to support at least a portion of the medical article, the adapter moving between a first position and a second position so as to vary the incident angle between the secured portion of the medical article and the patient's skin, the interengaging structure preventing the adapter from changing the selected incident angle at least when the adapter is in the first and second positions without user intervention.
A securement device for a medical article comprising:
- a retainer having a pair of opposing walls, the pair of opposing walls having at least two locking structures;
- and
- an adapter having a clip, the clip being separable and slidably engageable with the retainer and having at least two locking structures configured to engage with the at least two locking structures of the retainer, the adapter being selectively supported at two or more incident angles when at least one of the at least two locking structures of the adapter are engaged with at least one of the at least two locking structures of the retainer.
