Medical anchoring system

An anchoring system, for securing an elongated medical article to a patient, comprising an anchor pad and a retainer, the anchor pad having a first side including an adhesive layer to adhere the anchor pad to a patient's skin, and an opposing second side to which the retainer is attached, the retainer including, a base, a compressible member, and a cover pivotally attached to the base, the cover having first and second sides spaced apart in a longitudinal direction and being movable between an open position and a closed position, a receptacle being defined between the base and the cover to receive a portion of the medical article, the receptacle configured to engage the received portion of the medical article so as to inhibit longitudinal movement of the medical article through the receptacle, wherein the compressible member defines at least a portion of the receptacle and the medical article extends beyond the first and second sides of the cover when the medical article is placed within the retainer and the cover is in the closed position.

An anchoring system as in clam 2 further comprising an adhesive covering at least a portion of the channel that contacts the medical article.

An anchoring system for a medical article comprising:

• a retainer including a base, a cover, and a compressible member, the base having a cavity and the compressible member being disposed within the cavity, the compressible member defining a receptacle configured to receive at least a portion of the medical article, at least a deformable portion of the compressible member being deformable in a manner producing compressive stresses within the compressible member that bear against the portion of the medical article when received within the receptacle, wherein the cover is pivotally coupled to the base so as to move between a closed position, in which at least a portion of the receptacle is covered, and an open position, in which said portion of the receptacle is uncovered by the cover, and wherein the cover includes an adhesive layer that overlies at least a portion of the receptacle when the cover is in the closed position.

An anchoring system for a medical article comprising.

• a retainer including a base and a compressible member, the base having a cavity and the compressible member being disposed within the cavity, the compressible member defining a receptacle configured to receive at least a portion of the medical article, at least a deformable portion of the compressible member being deformable in a manner producing compressive stresses within the compressible member that bear against the portion of the medical article when received within the receptacle, wherein the receptacle is defined by at least one inner surface of the compressible member, and an adhesive layer covers at least a portion of the inner surface.

An anchoring system, for securing an elongated medical article to a patient, comprising an anchor pad and a retainer, the anchor pad having a first side including an adhesive layer to adhere the anchor pad to a patient's skin, and an opposing second side to which the retainer is attached, the retainer including a base and a cover pivotally attached to the base and movable between an open position and a closed position, a receptacle being defined between the base and the cover to receive a portion of the medical article, the receptacle having first and second longitudinal ends, the receptacle configured to engage the received portion of the medical article so as to inhibit longitudinal movement of the medical article through the receptacle, wherein the receptacle is defined at least in part by a receptacle wall section that is adhesive.
