Abstract
ABSTRACT
A coupling and attachment assembly for catheters and the like includes two pairs of side body portions with adhesive coatings on the bottom surfaces and a coupling permanently attached to a central portion of the attachment member. The coupling has a coupling portion that easily connects to a complementary coupling portion on the inlet end of a catheter so the coupling can be connected to the catheter and the attachment member secured to the patient in a fast and efficient manner. An aseptic flap on the member covers the puncture after the catheter has been inserted. For some applications an intravenous line is connected to the inlet end of the coupling and for another there is a closure cap. An auxiliary strip is connected to the flow line to further secure the assembly to the patient.

Detailed Description Referring now to the drawings there is shown a line coupling and attachment assembly 15 which includes an attachment member 16 having a pair of oppositely extending flap-like side body portions 17 and 18 extending laterally out from a central body portion 19 having a center line 21. There is further provided a second pair of oppositely extending flap-like side body portions 23 and 24 also referred to as inclined side body portions displaced along central body portion 19 from the ~irst-mentioned pair and extending diagonally 20 at an angle from the cen~er line of appro~imately 30 degrees and from the adjacent side body portion an angle of approximately 60 degrees. The side body portions are symmetrically arranged about the center line 21 so there is a mirror image on each side of the center line.
Both the pairs of side body portions have an adhesive coating 26 on the bottom surface which is covered by a backing strip 27 until it is applied to the patient. The backing strip 27 i9 split along center line 21 into two backing strip sections and folded back ,) along adjacent edges to form a pair of folded edge portions 28 that extend beyond the attachment member to be gripped by the person applying assembly 15 to remove the backing strip sections. Each backing strip section is removed when the attachment member is ready to be . .

secured to the skin of the patient.
A line coupling 31 has a male coupling ~ortion 32 at one end and a flow line 33 connected to the opposite end. The line coupling 31 is a rigid clear plastic section and is shown as having a hollow flexible injection bulb 34 between the rigid section and the tubing 33. The flow line 33 typically will be the clear plastic tubing of an intravenous (I. V.) set such as a VE~OSET~ Piggyback with CAIR~ clamp model no. 4967. The 10 line coupling 31 is also commonly referred to as a male adapter. This construction also allows for an extension line to be readily added between the coupling 31 and the male adapter of a conventional I. V. set. The line coupling 31 is securely fastened to the central body 15 portion 19 by a flexible strip 35 having an adhesive coating 36. The strip 35 shown is flexible and conforms to the circular shape of the line coupling 31 to form an annular segment around the coupling 31. A material found particularly suitable for strip 35 is a foam 3M
2U adhesive tape surgical spec. no. 1772-OEM-2. It is understood that other annular hubs or bodies such as a rigid section of plastic tubing stapled or otherwise secured to member 16 may be used in place of strip 35 for attachment purposes.
A generally V-shaped aseptic cover or flap 38 is attached to inclined side portion 23. An adhesive coating 39 is provided on the lower surface of flap 38. An edge portion 40 has the adhesive coating pressed against the top of the inclined side portion 23 30 to secure flap 38 to side portion 23. The cover or flap 38 primarily serves to cover the puncture but also further secures the catheter in place. A backing strip 41 covers the remaining part of the coating 39, until the device is applied. An edge portion ~2 of the 35 backing strip is folded back and extends beyond the attachment member for gripping to remove the backing strip ~1 when re~uired. The aseptic cover provides an immediate and time saving aseptic technique or both a bustling emergency room and the roughest ambulance field condition.
An auxiliary fastening strip 45 has an adhesive coating 46 on the bottom surface and a backing strip 47 with an edge portion 48 folded back. This auxiliary strip 45 has one end portion folded back around the line 33 at a fold loop with end loop portion 49 connecting to the main body of strip 45 and fastens to the patient to further secure the flow line 33 to the patient as is described more fully hereafter. A
material found particularly suitable for member 16, flap Ls 38 and strip 45 i8 a foam 3M transpore surgical spec. no.
1527 L-OEM-2.
Referring now to Figure 7 there is shown a coupling and attachment assembly 50 similar in construction to assembly 15 above described but with a modified coupling 51 that has a male coupling portion 52 at the front end to connect to the catheter and a closure cap portion 53 at the rear end with a dimple 54 into and through which a needle may be inserted to pass a fluid such as a medicament through the catheter and into the vein of the patient. The cap portion 53 is frequently referred to in the trade as a "Buffalo Cap".
Referring now to Figure 8 there is shown a conventional catheter 62 having a female coupling portion 63 at the inlet end opposite the tapered pointed 3~) outlet end. The catheter 62 is shown as having been inserted into the vein 64 of the hand 65 of a patient.
The male coupling portion 32 i9 slidably inserted into the female coupling portion 63 to form a fluid-tight flow connection therebetween.
3~ By way of example and not limitation the dimensions o~ the above described assembly are as follows:
~ull width o~ 15 12 cm full length of 15 ~ cm 5 length of 23, 24 ~rom edge of 17, 18 respectively 6 cm width of 17, 18 2.5 cm width of 23, 24 2 cm LO In a full se~uence for applying the assembly 15 to a patient, the vein 64 into which the catheter 62 is to be inserted is catheterized as per the conventional procedure. The tapered outlet end of the catheter is advanced into the vein using a stylett in 1~ the conventional manner and the stylett is discarded.
The male coupling portion 32 is inserted into the female coupling portion 63 of the catheter 62 and good flow is established through the flow line.
The backing strip 27 is removed from both pairs of the side body portions and one at a time they are secured to the patient by pressing the adhesive coating 36 firmly against the skin of the patient.
The adhesive backing strip 41 is then removed from the aseptic flap 38 and the adhesive coating 39 is pressed over the joined coupling portions 52 and 63, catheter and the venipuncture site in the hand.
The backing strip 47 is removed from the auxiliary strip 45 and pressed against the skin with the flow line 33 looped back to further prevent the inserted catheter 62 from becoming dislodged.
The assembly is specifically adapted to be applied to the limbs such as hand, arm or leg and in each case the side portions do not extend all the way around the limb 80 as to inhibit circulation.
From the foregoing it should be apparent that . . .
the application of the above described assembly is considerably faster than other deviceg and methods for securing intravenous lines thereby saving a rescuer in the field or a nurse in the emergency room time in terms of minutes. The assembly is as easy to install as a band-aid. The catheter remains free for the necessary manipulation for a troublesome intravenous start.
The size and configuration of the as~embly fits all anatomically popular intravenous catheter lQ locations performing a high quality adhesive ~unction without extending a full 360 degrees or being circumferential around the limb to which it is applied.
The assembly provides for stabilizing both the flow line or tubing and the catheter as a unit without 15 hampering the integrity or function of either. There is less manipulation of the patient than securing methods which involve tape.
Although the present invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is 20 understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example and that changes in details of structure may be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
