8 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures MEDICAL TUBE HOLDER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION l. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical tube holder and, more particularly, to an article for attaching a medical tube to the body of a patient which greatly enhances patient comfort and safety during a variety of medical procedures.
2. Description of the Prior Art Many medical and surgical procedures require use of drainage or injection tubes. Such tubes include Foley catheters, bladder catheters, nose tubes, drainage tubes, intravenous tubes, and the like. In use, such tubes extend from the body of a patient to a fluid source or drainage receptacle. Between the ends of the tube, it is necessary to provide support to prevent dislodging of the tubes or fittings.
The usual procedure for supporting a medical tube is to tape the tube directly to the body of the patient. As a result, the connection is rigid and inflexible. This rigid, inflexible connection becomes more uncomfortable as it remains in place and is a frequent source of patient complaints. Furthermore, if the patient moves too far or in the wrong way, the medical tube or fitting may become dislodged. These dislodgings can result in leakage or drainage. The result is a hazardous and unsafe condition, especially if a patient is in a critical condition.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided an article for attaching a medical tube to the body of a patient which not only provides patient comfort but prevents the easy dislodgement of all types of medical tubes. The present medical tube holder eliminates the rigid, inflexible attaching technique of the prior art and replaces it with a holder having a built-in stretch which permits relative movement between the medical tube and the body of the patient.
Briefly, the present medical tube holder comprises a clip which is releasably connectable to a medical tube, a pad having an adhesive on one side thereof for adherence to the body of a patient, and a flexible, stretchable band connected between the clip and the pad so that slight patient movement is permitted without discomfort or the possibility of catheter or tube dislodgement.
OBJECTS It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a medical tube holder.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an article for attaching a medical tube to the body of a patient which permits slight patient movement without discomfort or the possibility of tube dislodgement.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a simple, inexpensive, disposable medical tube holder.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a flexible attachment between medical tubes and the body of a patient.
Still other objects, features, and attendant advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment constructed in accordance therewith, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals designate like parts in the several figures and wherein:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings, there is shown an article, generally designated '10, for attaching a medical tube 11 to the body of a patient 12. Tube 11 may be any one of the many available types of drainage or injection tubes such as Foley catheters, bladder catheters, nose tubes, drainage tubes, intravenous injection tubes, and the like.Holder 10 is adapted to connect tube 11 to patient 12 with a sufficient amount of flexibility or give to permit some'slight movement of patient 12 without discomfort or the possibility of dislodgement of tube 11.
According to the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1,annulus 21 is a solid, substantially flat member. However,annulus 21 could obviously be doughnut-shaped, either solid or hollow, depending upon the materials used therefor.
The other end of member 40 may be conveniently connected to theother side 32 ofpad 30. For example, rubber band 40 may be split to formarms side 32 ofpad 30. Asecond pad 33 having an adhesive on one side thereof may then be used to connectarms surface 32 ofpad 30.Pad 33 may be conveniently positioned concentrically withpad 30 and have a central opening 34 through which member 40 extends. Other means for connecting member 40 topad 30 will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
If member 40 comprises a conventional rubber band, the two halves thereof may be positioned within a plastic or rubber cover orsleeve 50 for the protection thereof. The length ofsleeve 50 should be approximately equal to the unstretched length of member 40 betweenclip 20 andpad 30.
In operation, article may be used for attaching medical tube 11 to the body of patient 12. Assume, for example, and as shown in FIG. 2, that tube 11 is a bladder drainage tube. Tube 11 would, therefore, typically be draped over one leg of patient 12 and connected thereto at two locations. To usearticle 10, the removable protective sheet onside 31 ofpad 30 would first be removed and one ormore pads 30 attached to the body of patient 12, as desired. Thereafter,annulus 21 would be grasped and opened, in the manner shown in phantom in FIG. 1, to permit the insertion thereinto of tube 1 1.
Once in place, clip will securely grip tube 11 preventing movement thereof. Such firm connection may result in many different ways. First of all, the inner diameter ofannulus 21 may be made slightly smaller than the outer diameter of tube 11 so that a slight pinching action occurs. Alternatively,annulus 21 may have a sticky surface thereof to achieve the same result. However, neither of these possibilities may be necessary because of the well known fact that a cylindrical member passing through a thin annulus, at an angle thereto, tends to be gripped by the inner edges of the annulus and to prevent axial motion relative thereto.
The resultant attachment of tube 11 to the body of patient 12 greatly enhances patient comfort and safety during a variety of medical procedures. Witharticle 10, the rigid, inflexible attaching techniques of the prior art are eliminated and replaced by a holder having built-in stretch which permits relative movement between medical tube 11 and the body of patient 12. As a result, slight patient movement is permitted without discomfort and the possibility of catheter or tube dislodgement is significantly reduced.Article 10 is simple and may be manufactured and sold inexpensively so that it may be used only once and thereafter discarded.
While the invention has been described with respect to a preferred physical embodiment constructed in accordance therewith, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrative embodiment, but only by the scope of the appended claims.
