Catheter support

Abstract

Abstract 1510453 Adhesive support for a catheter KENDALL CO 16 March 1977 [1 April 1976] 11173/77 Heading A5R An adhesive support disc which prevents kinking of a catheter during use whilst the patient reclines upon the disc comprises a soft compressible foam layer 22 e.g. of polyurethane, an adhesive layer 38, a release backing layer 40 and a slot 30 which extends throughout the thickness of the disc to a central aperture 32. During use the catheter P extends from the patient part way through the aperture 32 and then radially outwardly through the slot 30, the thickness of the disc preventing the weight of the patient from blocking or kinking the catheter. The radially inner region of the slot is narrower than the catheter diameter.
