Abstract
The present disclosure provides a securement assembly for an enteral access device or vesical access device (“access device”). The securement assembly includes a base and a lid. The base is generally configured to support an external port of the access device and the lid is pivotably coupled to the base. The base comprises a border rim and a central portion, wherein the border rim is configured to engage a skin surface of a patient around a stoma and the central portion is configured to engage the external port of the access device. The central portion may comprise opposing side arms defining an aperture through which a tube of the access device extends.
Claims20
A securement assembly for an enteral access device or vesical access device (“access device”), the securement assembly comprising:
- a base comprising a border rim and a central portion, wherein the border rim is configured to engage a skin surface of a patient around a stoma and the central portion is configured to engage the external port of the access device, wherein the central portion comprises opposing side arms defining an aperture through which the access device extends, wherein the side arms of the central portion are resiliently flexible to facilitate selective enhanced retention of the external port of the access device, wherein the central portion is a cantilevered extension from a rear of the base.
An absorbent member for a securement assembly of an enteral access device or vesical access device, the absorbent member comprising opposing wings configured to extend beyond lateral sides of a base and formed to be slid under a cantilevered extension and over a border rim into engagement with a skin surface around a stoma in a space defined between the border rim and the access device, the absorbent member defining a central aperture and a slit.
A lid for a securement assembly of an enteral access device or vesical access device, the lid configured to be pivotably coupled to a base of the enteral access device or vesical access, wherein the lid defines a receptacle for detachably retaining a cap of the access device.
