Abstract
A device for preventing axial movement of an elongated member (1) applied through the skin of a mammal at a puncturing position has a plaster (2) designed to cover the surface around the puncturing position and having at least an adhesive layer (4) for securing it to the skin as well as an opening (9) through the layer thereof for the passage of said elongated member therethrough. The device also has a clamp (8) secured to plaster and adapted to clamp around the elongated member when the elongated member is applied to the skin and the plaster is applied on the surface around said puncturing position. The clamp is thin and substantially flat.
Claims20
A device for preventing axial movement of an elongated member (1), such as a cannula needle, applied through the skin of a mammal at a puncturing position, said device comprising
- a plaster (2) structured and arranged to cover a surface around the puncturing position and having at least an adhesive layer (4) for securing to the skin and an opening (9) through the layer (4) thereof for the passage of said elongated member (1) therethrough,
- the device further comprising
- means (8) secured to the plaster (2) and structured and arranged to clamp around said elongated member (1) when the elongated member (1) is applied through the skin of a mammal and the plaster (2) is applied on the surface around said puncturing position, wherein
- said clamping means (8) is thin and substantially flat and provided with a lateral opening (10) for laterally introducing said elongated member (1) between clamping portions (11, 12) thereof, and
- said clamping means (8) includes parts of substantially rigid material provided with said clamping portions (11, 12) which are structured and arranged to bias from at least two different directions against said elongated member (1).
A device for preventing axial movement of an elongated member (1), such as a cannula needle, applied through the skin of a mammal at a puncturing position, said device comprising
- a plaster (2) structured and arranged to cover a surface around the puncturing position and having at least an adhesive layer (4) for securing to the skin and an opening (9) through the layer (4) thereof for the passage of said elongated member (1) therethrough,
- the device further comprising
- means (8) secured to the plaster (2) and structured and arranged to clamp around said elongated member (1) when the elongated member (1) is applied through the skin of a mammal and the plaster (2) is applied on the surface around said puncturing position,
- said clamping means (8) is thin and substantially flat and includes parts of substantially rigid material provided with clamping portions (11, 12) structured and arranged to bear against said elongated member (1), wherein
- said clamping means (8) and plaster (2) are provided with a lateral slot-formed opening (9,10) structured and arranged for laterally introducing said elongated member (1) between clamping portions (11, 12) of said clamping means (8) by moving the plaster (2) with said clamping means (8) laterally with respect to said elongated member (1) applied through the skin, and
- said clamping portions (11, 12) are structured and arranged to bear against said elongated member (1) while acting thereupon substantially in a plane in parallel with the surface of the skin upon which the plaster (2) is arranged.
