Claims20
A treatment system comprising:
- a first interface having a first side that includes an adhesive and a second side that includes a first magnet, wherein the first interface is configured to attach to skin of a patient such that the first magnet does not contact the skin;
- and
- a second interface that includes a medical device and a second magnet mounted to the medical device, wherein the second magnet is configured to magnetically bind to the first magnet such that the medical device is secured to the patient.
A method of securing medical components, the method comprising:
- forming a first interface, wherein the first interface includes a first side formed from an adhesive that attaches to skin of a patient and a second side that includes a first magnet, and wherein the first interface is formed such that the first magnet does not contact the skin of the patient;
- forming a second interface by mounting a second magnet to a medical device;
- and
- mounting the second interface to the first interface such that the medical device is secured to the patient.
A treatment system comprising:
- a first interface that includes a first adhesive and a first magnet attached to the first adhesive, wherein the first interface is configured to attach to skin of a patient on a first side of a skin wound;
- and
- a second interface that includes a second adhesive and a second magnet attached to the second adhesive, wherein the second interface is configured to attach to the skin of the patient on a second side of the skin wound, and wherein the second magnet is configured to attach to the first magnet such that the skin wound is closed.
