Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a device for fixing intracorporeal access devices to the body of a patient - in particular airway management devices, such as endotracheal tubes, nasotracheal tubes and laryngeal masks, devices for access to blood vessels, tubes, catheters and drainage tubes - that is useful and practical in the medical field and in particular in anaesthesia and resuscitation, in intensive care, in medical transports and in emergency medicine both inside and outside the hospital.
  • airway management devices such as endotracheal tubes, nasotracheal tubes and laryngeal masks, devices for access to blood vessels, tubes, catheters and drainage tubes - that is useful and practical in the medical field and in particular in anaesthesia and resuscitation, in intensive care, in medical transports and in emergency medicine both inside and outside the hospital.
  • an intracorporeal access device of a different nature depending on the specific medical need that the device must fulfil.
  • devices for access to blood vessels for the administration of drugs and/or liquids nasogastric tubes for feeding the patient, catheters or drainage tubes for evacuating liquids in bedridden patients, airway management devices, such as endotracheal tubes, to allow for assisted breathing and so on.
  • endotracheal intubation technique is known and commonly used in the medical field, with which a pipe-shaped tube, called endotracheal tube, is inserted into the trachea to an unconscious patient or to be subjected to narcosis in order to allow assisted breathing and to protect the airways.
  • the endotracheal tube is positioned by a doctor (or possibly, where permitted by law, by other trained healthcare personnel) who identifies the correct position (which from here on, in this description and in the attached claims, will be indicated as "determined anatomical position of use"). Normally, in this determined anatomical position of use, the endotracheal tube engages the patient's trachea and emerges for a stretch from the patient's mouth, so as to have an accessible distal end to which assisted ventilation devices are generally connected. Once the endotracheal tube has been positioned in the determined anatomical position of use, it must be properly fixed to prevent it from moving from that position. In fact, excessive movements of the endotracheal tube can cause dislocation thereof and the tube to come off the trachea.
  • non-specific patches do not have sufficient adhesiveness and are often ineffective in avoiding the accidental removal in the event of an involuntary sudden traction on the device.
  • Another drawback of these known types of patches used for fixing intracorporeal access devices lies in the fact that, being non-specific and non-sterile devices, they favour the development of infections, in particular in paediatric and post-operative patients.
  • a device for blocking a catheter once it has been positioned in place is also known from US 2017/326338Al.
  • the device comprises a base patch to which a braided sock, in which the catheter is retained, is attached.
  • the sock has the peculiarity of reducing its internal diameter according to its own length. In this way, once installed with a diameter such as to exert a radial retaining force against the catheter, it is able to counteract a significant displacement thereof.
  • a small displacement of the catheter is in fact sufficient to cause a further elongation of the sock, thus increasing the radial retaining force exerted on the catheter and therefore preventing further displacements.
  • US 2017/326338A1 further discloses the use of a sensor to monitor one or more parameters of the line, including a voltage exerted on the braided sock.
  • this device is scarcely suitable for the effective blocking of intracorporeal access devices since the blocking action exerted by the sock is activated by the elongation thereof and therefore only downstream of an axial movement by the device which, moreover, could cause injuries to the patient.
  • the elasticity of the braided sock can be subject to yielding, reducing with use the retaining force exerted on the catheter and therefore increasing the displacement necessary for the effective activation of the blocking.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is that of devising a fixing device for intracorporeal access devices that solves the technical problem described above, obviates the drawbacks and overcomes the limits of the prior art, allowing to effectively avoid or prevent the accidental displacement of the intracorporeal access devices and/or injuries to the patient's access routes.
  • an object of the present invention is to realise a fixing device for intracorporeal access devices that is able to prevent any longitudinal and/or torsional movement of the intracorporeal access device, warning healthcare workers with visual and/or acoustic signals.
  • Another object of the present invention is to realise a fixing device for intracorporeal access devices which is at the same time more practical and easier to apply than the prior art.
  • a further object of the invention is to realise a fixing device for intracorporeal access devices which, if used for the management of airways, allows the access to the oral cavity of the intubated patient.
  • Another object of the invention is to realise a fixing device for intracorporeal access devices which is easy to manufacture and economically competitive.
  • the invention therefore relates to a device for fixing intracorporeal access devices to a patient in a determined anatomical position of use, comprising a fixing base adapted to be fixed to the patient's body and to the intracorporeal access device so as to retain the intracorporeal access device in said determined anatomical position of use.
  • the fixing device for intracorporeal access devices comprises a fixing base configured to be fixed to the patient's body and an adhesive fixing flap having longitudinal extension along a development axis.
  • the adhesive fixing flap is bound to the fixing base and is configured to be fixed to the intracorporeal access device in order to retain the intracorporeal access device in the determined anatomical position of use.
  • a strain gauge is also provided which is functionally connected to the adhesive fixing flap and is configured to detect a traction applied to the adhesive fixing flap.
  • the Applicant has identified that thanks to the use of a strain gauge functionally connected to the adhesive fixing flap and configured to detect a traction and/or a torsion applied to the adhesive fixing flap it is possible to detect a traction and/or torsion force applied to the adhesive fixing flap even before the device is subject to displacements. In this way, it is possible to intervene even before an even minimal dislocation of the device takes place and thus preventing injuries to the patient.
  • the fixing device for intracorporeal access devices according to the present invention is also simple to manufacture, with reduced production costs.
  • the present invention may have at least one of the following preferred features; the latter may in particular be combined with one another as desired in order to meet specific application needs.

  • strain gauge advantageously ensure to prevent any perceptible displacement of the fixed intracorporeal access device by the fixing device according to the invention, thus ensuring a substantial absence of injuries to the patient caused by the device.
  • the strain gauge is of the electrical resistance or semiconductor type, preferably of the full bridge type.
  • strain gauges identified by the Applicant is particularly suitable for use in the fixing device according to the invention, since it allows to detect displacements along any direction in the space.
  • the fixing adhesive flap is connected to the fixing base by means of a prolongation configured to allow an axial rotation movement of the fixing adhesive flap about an axis parallel to the development axis.

  • the prolongation is made as an axial continuation of a short side of the adhesive fixing flap or as a lateral extension of a portion of a long side of the adhesive fixing flap.
  • the strain gauge is bound to or integrated into the adhesive fixing flap.
  • the fixing base and/or the adhesive fixing flap are made as a multilayer element, comprising at least one upper filtering layer and an at least partially adhesive lower layer.
  • the lower layer of the fixing base is of the multicompartmental type, being provided with at least one central adsorbent compartment and with an adhesive peripheral compartment.
  • the at least one central adsorbent compartment is configured to adsorb liquids.
  • the at least one central adsorbent compartment comprises a hypertonic gel or hydrocolloid substance, such as an absorbent open cell polyurethane foam.
  • the fixing device is capable of adsorbing any liquids produced by the patient while he is wearing the fixing device, for example by perspiration, preventing them from affecting the adhesion of the fixing device to the patient.
  • the adhesive peripheral compartment is made of a material that can be validated with respect to the ISO 10993 standard and preferably similar to one or more of the following known adhesive materials:3M-MED 1522, 3M 9425HT, 3M 9629PC, 3M 9415PC and 3M 9415PC.
