A device for holding and protecting a needle or catheter, the device comprising a first portion and a second portion, each provided with an adhesive face covered in a detachable anti-adhesive sheet, the first portion being for securing to the skin in register with a penetration site selected for the needle or catheter, and the second portion being for covering the penetration site of the needle or catheter, wherein the device is made of a flexible material and further comprises a longitudinal slot for passing the needle or catheter and a transverse bearing zone for the needle on either side of the slot, only one face of the first portion being adhesive, the second portion being suitable and configured to be secured to the skin when overlying the penetration site of the needle, without being stuck to the first portion.
A cover for securing and protecting an intravascular conduit, the cover comprising a sheet of material so thin and flexible as to permit application and retention on a skin surface, wherein:
- a first portion of the sheet comprises a top face that is non-adhesive and a bottom face that is so adhesive as to permit application and retention on a skin surface;
- a second portion of the sheet comprises a top face and a bottom face, wherein:
- the top face of the second portion is contiguous with the top face of the first portion;
- the top face of the second portion comprises a central region that is non-adhesive and a marginal region extending along a periphery of the central region, the central region being so sized and shaped as to cover the first portion when the second portion is folded over the first portion;
- the marginal region is so adhesive as to permit application and retention on a skin surface;
- and
- the bottom face of the second portion is non-adhesive and is contiguous with the bottom face of the first portion;
- and
- the sheet defines a slot extending longitudinally.
A cover for securing and protecting an intravascular conduit, the cover comprising a sheet of material so thin and flexible as to permit application and retention on a skin surface, wherein:
- a transverse line delineates the sheet into a first portion and a second portion such that the first portion and second portion are hinged about the transverse line;
- the first portion comprises a top face and a bottom face, the bottom face being so adhesive as to permit application and retention on a skin surface;
- the second portion comprises a top face and a bottom face, wherein:
- the top face of the second portion is contiguous with the top face of the first portion;
- the top face of the second portion comprises a central region and a marginal region extending along a periphery of the central region, the central region being so sized and shaped as to cover the first portion when the cover is folded over at the transverse line;
- the marginal region is so adhesive as to permit application and retention on a skin surface;
- and
- the bottom face of the second portion is non-adhesive and is contiguous with the bottom face of the first portion;
- and
- the sheet defines a slot extending longitudinally along the sheet from the first portion, across the transverse line, and to the second portion.
