International ClassA61M 005/32AbstractA securement device retains an indwelling catheter at a desired incident angle while allowing incremental adjustments of the incident angle without disconnecting the catheter from the retainer. The retainer includes an arcuate slot which curves in a direction toward an insertion site of the indwelling catheter. The slot receives a portion of a hub of the catheter. Movement of the catheter hub along the arcuate path defined by the slot changes the incident angle of the catheter. The retainer also includes protrusions which project into the slot and capture a hub of the catheter at discrete positions within the slot. These positions correspond to commonly desired incident angles of the catheter for given medical applications. The retainer also connects to an anchoring base in order to secure the retainer to the patient's skin proximate to the catheterization site. | |
