Device for lengthy fixation of a tube introduced into the patient's body

Claim 1

A device for long-term fixation of a tube introduced into a patient's body, said device comprising: a housing secured to the patient's body; a flexible annular base of said housing; securing means for securing said tube in said housing, said securing means including a first bushing mounted stationary and coaxially with said housing and through which said tube is introduced into the patient's body; at least two identical ribs, each rib connecting said bushing with said flexible annular base and each rib made so that in combination they define a cavity between the patient's body and said flexible annular base; said cavity intended for sanitary and hygienic treatment of a skin integument portion formed around said tube introduced into the patient's body; and a cover closing said cavity and connected with said flexible annular base.

Claim 2

A device for long-term fixation of a tube introduced into a patient's body, said device comprising: a housing secured to the patient's body; a flexible annular base of said housing; securing means for securing said tube in said housing, said securing means including a first bushing mounted stationary and coaxially with said housing and through which said tube is introduced into the patient's body; at least two identical ribs, each rib connecting said bushing with said flexible annular base and each rib made so that in combination they define a cavity between the patient's body and said flexible annular base; said cavity intended for sanitary and hygienic treatment of a skin integument portion formed around said tube introduced into the patient's body; and a cover closing said cavity and connected with said flexible annular base.

Claim 7

A device for long-term fixation of a tube introduced into a patient's body, said device comprising: a housing secured to the patient's body; a flexible annular base of said housing; securing means for securing said tube in said housing, said securing means including a first bushing mounted stationarily and coaxially with said housing and through which said tube passes when said tube is introduced into the patient's body; at least two identical ribs, each rib connecting said bushing with said flexible annular base, said rib, being made so that in combination they form a cavity between the patient's body and said flexible annular base, said cavity being intended for sanitary treatment of the area of the patient's skin integument around said tube introduced into the patient's body; a second bushing made of resilient material and placed within said first bushing, said second bushing holding said tube after it is inserted into the patient's body; and a cover closing said cavity and connecting with said flexible annular base.

Claim 8

A device for long-term fixation of a tube introduced into a patient's body, said device comprising: a housing secured to the patient's body; a flexible annular base of said housing; securing means for securing said tube in said housing, said securing means including a first bushing mounted stationarily and coaxially with said housing and through which said tube passes when said tube is introduced into the patient's body; at least two identical ribs, each rib connecting said bushing with said flexible annular base, said rib, being made so that in combination they form a cavity between the patient's body and said flexible annular base, said cavity being intended for sanitary treatment of the area of the patient's skin integument around said tube introduced into the patient's body; a second bushing made of resilient material and placed within said first bushing, said second bushing holding said tube after it is inserted into the patient's body; and a cover closing said cavity and connecting with said flexible annular base.

Claim 13

A device for long-term fixation of a tube introduced into a patient's body, said device comprising: a housing secured to the patient's body; a flexible annular base of said housing; securing means for securing said tube in said housing, said securing means including a first bushing mounted stationarily and coaxially with said housing and through which said tube passes when said tube is introduced into the patient's body; at least two identical ribs, each rib connecting said bushing with said flexible annular base, each said rib being made so that in combination they form a cavity between the patient's body and said flexible annular base, said cavity being intended for sanitary treatment of the area of the patient's skin integument around said tube introduced into the patient's body; a second bushing made of resilient material and placed within said first bushing, said second bushing holding said tube after it is inserted into the patient's body; a cover closing said cavity and connected with said flexible annular base; removal means for removing said cover having the form of a first tab and a second tab, said first tab being radially located on said cover, said second tab being radially located on said flexible annular base in such a manner that, with said cover being fixed on said flexible annular base, said second tab is offset with relation to said first tab by a distance that provides for convenient removal of said cover by the lifting of said first tab while said second tab is held stationary; and said flexible annular base provided with at least two projections and a respective number of openings, each opening being formed in a respective projection, and said openings being used for securing the device by application of stitching material to the patient's skin through said openings.

Claim 14

A device for long-term fixation of a tube introduced into a patient's body, said device comprising: a housing secured to the patient's body; a flexible annular base of said housing; securing means for securing said tube in said housing, said securing means including a first bushing mounted stationarily and coaxially with said housing and through which said tube passes when said tube is introduced into the patient's body; at least two identical ribs, each rib connecting said bushing with said flexible annular base, each said rib being made so that in combination they form a cavity between the patient's body and said flexible annular base, said cavity being intended for sanitary treatment of the area of the patient's skin integument around said tube introduced into the patient's body; a second bushing made of resilient material and placed within said first bushing, said second bushing holding said tube after it is inserted into the patient's body; a cover closing said cavity and connected with said flexible annular base; removal means for removing said cover having the form of a first tab and a second tab, said first tab being radially located on said cover, said second tab being radially located on said flexible annular base in such a manner that, with said cover being fixed on said flexible annular base, said second tab is offset with relation to said first tab by a distance that provides for convenient removal of said cover by the lifting of said first tab while said second tab is held stationary; and said flexible annular base provided with at least two projections and a respective number of openings, each opening being formed in a respective projection, and said openings being used for securing the device by application of stitching material to the patient's skin through said openings.
