Abstract
A catheter attachment system includes an adhesive attachment layer and a polymeric hardgood article 100 for holding the catheter. The polymeric hardgood is a hinged article that contains two interlocking members. The first member is a holding member 120 with a securement surface designed to hold the hub of a catheter. The securement surface is a conformable layer that has a high coefficient of friction with a value of 0.5 or higher. The second member 130 is a cover member hingably linked to the holding member, where the cover member is designed to contact at least a portion of the securement surface of the holding member when closed, to hold the hub of a catheter.
Claims18
An attachment system for attaching a catheter to a patient, the attachment system comprising:
- an adhesive attachment layer with a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein the first major surface comprises an adhesive surface suitable for attachment to skin of the patient;
- and
- a polymeric hard good coupled with the adhesive attachment layer for holding a catheter, the polymeric hard good comprising:
- a base layer with a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein the first major surface of the base layer is in contact with the second major surface of the adhesive attachment layer;
- and
- a hinge, comprising:
- a holding member, comprising:
- a first major surface in contact with the second major surface of the base layer;
- and
- a second major surface comprising a securement surface configured to hold a hub of the catheter, wherein the second major surface of the holding member comprises a conformable layer with a coefficient of friction of 0.5 or higher;
- and
- a cover member coupled with the holding member, the cover member comprising a first major surface comprising a conformable layer and configured to contact at least a portion of the second major surface of the holding member when the hinge is closed, such that when closed the hinge holds the hub of the catheter.
