Abstract
A medical device or catheter management system comprises several layers where a top layer has one or more channels to receive one or more elongated medical devices or members and a bottom layer comprises adhesive to secure the catheter management system to a patient or other secure site in the operating field. A firm upper surface causes the elongated medical devices or members to stay in the channels, whereas a firm inner layer facilitates maintaining the shape of the catheter management system and providing resistance for an operator to easily release an elongated medical device or member.
Claims30
A sterile resistive medical holding unit capable of holding and releasing at least one elongated medical device or member, which comprises;
- an upper flexible substrate comprising at least one channel with at least one resistance component and
- a lower, adhesive surface,
- wherein rotation and translation of the elongated device or member can be controlled and the elongated device or member can be easily removed when sufficient force is manually applied to the elongated medical device or member to release the elongated medical device or member from the sterile resistive medical holding unit for additional manipulation.
A medical holding device for managing one or more elongated medical devices or members, comprising:
- a flexible substrate having one or more curvilinear channels each extending from a first surface to a second opposed surface,
- wherein the substrate has a flat or substantially flat bottom surface and one or more adhesive layers are attached to the bottom surface, and
- wherein each channel has a depth sufficient to receive an elongated medical device or member and the channel comprises curvature or one or more protrusions, substances, or protrusions and substances of releasably holding the elongated medical device or member.
