摘要:
This invention relates to systems for securing a tube (e.g. feeding tube) and/or a patient interface or a dermal patch to a user. One embodiment comprises a holder, an interface side of the holder attachable to the patient interface or the dermal patch for securing a feeding tube to the patient interface or the patch, the holder comprising at least a first channel or recess for receiving the feeding tube to couple the feeding tube to the patient interface. Another embodiment comprises a patient interface itself comprising a backing for positioning on a patient's face, a dermal patch having a patient side and an interface side, the patient side of the patch attachable to the user, the patch comprising at least a first flap portion attachable to the tube for affixing the tube to the patch, a two-part releasable connection arrangement for releasably securing the patient interface to the patch.

Connector assembly (FIG. 4a) includes a shell (210), a connector body (230), and a plug (250). The shell (210) has a sidewall (212) defining an interior, a first shell end having a first opening (214) defined therein, and a second shell end having a second opening (216) defined therein, each of the first (214) and second openings (216) in communication with the interior to receive percutaneous tubing therethrough, the shell (210) further having an engagement portion. The connector body (230) has a first body end (234) and a second body end (236) with a tube lumen defined therethrough, the first body end (234) having a connector tip (237), the connector body (230) having an engaging portion to engage the engagement portion of the shell (210). The plug (250) has a first plug end and a second plug end with a fluid lumen defined therethrough, the first plug end having a plug tip (257) extending therefrom.

The present invention relates generally to an oral device, or mouthpiece, for delivering a fluid to the mouth or oropharynx of a user. In one embodiment, the oral device includes an intraoral portion, an extraoral portion, and an auxiliary support device that serves to stabilize the oral device. In various embodiments, the auxiliary support device may be configured with ear loops, a support band, a support frame and/or a support member. The intraoral portion generally includes at least one outlet port through which the fluid is delivered to the oral cavity or oropharynx. A method of dispensing a fluid using the oral device is also provided.

A system for delivering moisturizing liquid to the lips of a subject includes an applicator for applying the moisturizing liquid to the lips supported by a support structure so that at least a part of applicator is deployed so as to engage a recess between the lips of subject without obstructing contact between the subject's upper and lower lips. The proximity of the applicator to the lips allows the use of simple contact-based implementations of the applicator. At the same time, disruption of speech and other normal oral movement is minimized by avoiding any obstruction to contact between the lips.

A gastrostomy device (11) comprising a delivery means such as a tube (13) for delivering food, medicines and other fluids to a patient's stomach (30). The delivery means has a first portion (17) which is received in the patient, the first portion (17) having a maximum cross section substantially equal to or smaller than the aperture in the patient through which the first portion (17) enters and exits so that the delivery means can be removed from the patient with minimal injury thereto. Preferably the tube (13) enters the patient through a first aperture (31) in the patient, passes through the stomach (30) and exits the patient through a second aperture (29). The device also comprises a retaining means (19) to retain the tube (13) in a desired position.

A balloon trocar (200) includes a cannula assembly (210) including a cannula (250) and an outer sleeve (300) fitting over the cannula. The distal end (306) of the outer sleeve is proximal to the distal end (256) of the cannula. A balloon (400) is coupled to a distal portion (312) of the sleeve and a distal portion (260) of the cannula. The outer surface of the cannula includes a plurality of longitudinal channels (268) for transmitting gas or fluid to the balloon. A bolster (410) having a gel pad (530) at its distal portion is slidably mounted to the cannula assembly and may be locked in a desired position. In use, the trocar is inserted into an incision through a body wall and into a body cavity The balloon is inflated and the cannula assembly pulled proximally against the incision while the bolster is slid distally to the body wall and locked in place to seal the incision with the compressed balloon.
