A separable fastening device is disclosed to support a medical device such as a catheter tube or the like to a limb of a patient. The device includes a first and a second strap member. The first strap member includes a flexible first strap section formed of a knitted textile material having upstanding from one surface a plurality of multifilamentary loop-like elements and a polyurethane foam substrate secured to the opposite surface. The first strap member also includes a second strap section which is formed of a flexible tape member having upstanding from one surface a plurality of hook-like elements which matingly engage with the upstanding filamentary loop-like elements of the first section so as to be attachable thereto at the respective end portions to form a complete flexible first strap member. The second strap member includes a third strap section formed of a flexible tape member having an adhesive coating on one surface and a plurality of hook-like engaging elements on the opposite surface. The adhesive surface can be wrapped about the catheter tube and thereafter the hook-like elements can be matingly engaged with the loop-like elements of a portion of the first strap section. Upon encircling the first strap section about a limb and enfolding it over the third strap section, the hook-like elements of the second strap section can matingly engage the loop-like elements of the first strap section to secure the catheter tube in relation to the limb.
A separable fastening device adapted to support a catheter tube in adjacent relation to a portion of a human body such as a limb which comprises:
A catheter tube support comprising:
A separable fastening device adapted to support a first member on a second member comprising a first strap section having a plurality of engaging elements upstanding from a first surface thereof, a second strap section connected to and extending from said first strap section and having a plurality of mating engaging elements upstanding from a surface opposed to said first surface of said first strap section, said second strap section capable of being positioned opposite said first surface of said first strap section such that the respective mating engaging elements may be placed in mating engaged face-to-face relation, a third strap section having adhering means on a first surface portion thereof and a plurality of engaging elements upstanding from an opposite surface thereof and capable of being selectively detachably positioned in mating engaged relation with said engaging elements of said first surface of said first strap section, said third strap section being dimensioned such that said adhering surface can be positioned in secured engaged adhered relation with at least a portion of the surface of the first member and adhered thereto so as to securely encompass at least a part thereof prior to mating engagement of said third strap section with said first strap section such that said first strap section may be positioned about said first member and said third strap section and the respective mating engaging elements placed in engaged relation so as to support the first member on the second member.
A separable fastening device adapted to support a first member such as a catheter tube or the like on a second member comprising a first and a second strap member, said first strap member including a first flexible strap section having a plurality of engaging elements upstanding from a first surface thereof, a second flexible strap section connected to and extending from said first strap section and having a plurality of mating engaging elements upstanding from a surface opposed to said first surface of said first strap section, said second strap section capable of being positioned opposite said first surface of said first strap section such that the respective mating engaging elements may be placed in mating engaged face-to-face relation, said second strap member including a third strap section having adhering means on a first surface portion thereof and a plurality of engaging elements upstanding from an opposite surface thereof and capable of being selectively detachably positioned in mating engaged relation with said engaging elements of said first surface of said first strap section, said third strap section being dimensioned such that said adhering surface can be positioned in secured engaged adhered relation with at least a portion of the surface of the first member and adhered thereto so as to securely encompass at least a part thereof prior to mating engagement of said third strap section with said first strap section such that said first strap section may be positioned about the first member and said third strap section and the respective mating engaging elements placed in engaged relation so as to support the first member on the second member.
A separable fastening device adapted to support a medical device such as an elongated catheter tube or the like on a support member comprising a first and a second strap member, said first strap member including a first flexible strap section having a plurality of resilient engaging elements upstanding from a first surface thereof, a second flexible strap section connected to and extending from said first strap section and having a plurality of resilient mating engaging elements upstanding from a surface opposed to said first surface of said first strap section, said second strap section capable of being positioned opposite said first surface of said first strap section such that the respective resilient mating engaging elements may be placed in mating engaged face-to-face relation, said second strap member including a third strap section having adhering means on a first surface portion thereof and a plurality of resilient engaging elements upstanding from an opposite surface thereof and capable of being selectively detachably positioned in mating engaged relation with said engaging elements of said first surface of said first strap section, said third strap section being dimensioned such that said adhering surface can be positioned in secured engaged adhered relation with at least a portion of the surface of the medical device and adhered thereto so as to securely encompass at least a part thereof prior to mating engagement of said third strap section with said first strap section such that said first strap section may be positioned about said medical device member and said third strap section and the respective mating engaging elements placed in engaged relation so as to support the medical device on the second member.
A fastener for supporting an object on a support member comprising first, second, and third strap sections, said first strap section being provided on one surface with a multiplicity of loop-type hooking elements upstanding therefrom, and having a foam material substrate secured to the opposed surface, said second strap section being provided on one surface with a multiplicity of hook-type hooking elements upstanding therefrom, said second strap section being connected to and extending from said first strap section such that the hooking element surfaces of said first and second strap sections are opposite each other, said third strap section being provided on one surface with an adhesive coating, and on the other surface with a multiplicity of hook-type hooking elements upstanding therefrom, said third strap section being dimensioned such that at least a portion of said adhesive surface can be positioned contiguously in relation to at least a portion of said object, said object being retained in secured fixed relationship relative to said first and second strap sections upon engagement of at least a portion of said hook-type hooking elements of said third strap section with at least a portion of said hooking element surface of said first strap sections.
