US 2026/0284359 A1 · ADJUSTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE STABILIZER SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

Abstract

An adjustable stabilizer is provided for securing a medical device to a patient, relative to the angle and point of insertion. The stabilizer has a bottom surface and first and second top surfaces which meet at an apex of the stabilizer. The angle of the first top surface relative to the bottom surface may be adjusted to correspond with the medical device's insertion angle to permit the medical device entering the patient's body to extend from the insertion site on the patient's body along the first top surface, over the apex, and along the second top surface back towards the patient's body, thereby reducing stress at the insertion site, discomfort for the patient, and the risk of insertion site bleeding, while minimizing risk of damage to the medical device. The stabilizer may transition between a relaxed state and a flexed state to releasably secure the medical device to the stabilizer.

Dependent claims

A stabilizer for securing a medical device to a patient, the stabilizer comprising:

a bottom surface extending between first and second ends;
a first top surface pivotally coupled to and extending from the bottom surface first end at a first angle to an apex of the stabilizer;
a second top surface pivotally coupled to the first top surface and extending from the apex towards the bottom surface second end at a second angle, the bottom surface configured to be affixed to a skin of the patient such that the first top surface is adjacent to an insertion site of the patient;
and
a channel defining an opening extending at least partially along the first and/or second top surfaces between the bottom surface first and second ends, the channel sized and shaped to releasably secure the medical device therein,
wherein the stabilizer is deformable between a flexed state where the opening comprises a first width configured to permit the medical device to pass therethrough and into the channel, and a relaxed state where the opening comprises a second width less than the first width, the second width configured to releasably secure the medical device within the channel, and
wherein the first and second top surfaces are mutually configured to selectively adjust the second angle to thereby modify the first angle to an angle corresponding with an insertion angle of the medical device at the insertion site.
