Abstract

The invention concerns a device for anchoring a filter (50) and a catheter (40), comprising an adhesive bandage (10), a securing element (20) for anchoring the catheter (40) and a carrier element (30) for anchoring the filter (50), wherein either the securing element (20) or the carrier element (30) is applied to the adhesive bandage (10), and wherein the securing element (20) includes a first coupling element, which is releaseably connectable with a second coupling element provided on the carrier element (30).

Claims

1. A device for anchoring a filter (50) and a catheter (40), comprising:

an adhesive bandage (10),

a securing element (20) for anchoring the catheter (40), wherein the securing element has a surface having a plane and

a carrier element (30) for anchoring the filter (50),

wherein either the securing element (20) or the carrier element (30) is applied to the adhesive bandage (10),

wherein the securing element (20) includes bars (22) extending from the surface, wherein each of said bars (22) extends along a longitudinal axis, wherein openings (24), each having an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bar and substantially parallel to the plane of the securing element (20), are provided in the bars, and

wherein the securing element (20) includes a first coupling element, which is releasably connectable with a second coupling element provided on the carrier element (30).

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the width of the openings (24) is larger than the diameter of the catheter (40).

3. The device according to claim 2, wherein the securing element (20) includes gaps (26) having a breadth, which lead from the surface of the securing element (20) into the openings (24).

4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the breadth of the gaps (26) is slightly smaller than the diameter of the catheter (40).

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the bars (22) are arranged in the shape of a cross.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first coupling element or the second coupling element is a plug (32), wherein the other coupling element is in the form of an opening (28), in which the plug (32) is introducible.

7. The device according to claim 6, wherein the plug (32) and the opening (28) are self-locking elements.

8. The device according to claim 6, wherein the plug (32) and the openings (28) in cross section are corresponding polygons.

9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the filter (50) is releasably secured upon the carrier element (30).

10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the filter (50) is securable upon the carrier element (30) via a clamping or engaging function.

11. A device for anchoring a filter (50) and a catheter (40), comprising:

an adhesive bandage (10),

a securing element (20) for anchoring the catheter (40) having a plane; and

a carrier element (30) for anchoring the filter (50), wherein the carrier element is in direct contact with the securing element;

wherein either the securing element (20) or the carrier element (30) is applied to the adhesive bandage (10),

wherein the securing element (20) includes a first coupling element that interconnects with a second coupling element provided on the carrier element (30), and

wherein the securing element (20) includes bars (22), wherein each of said bars (22) extends along a longitudinal axis, wherein openings (24), each having an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bar and substantially parallel to the plane of the securing element (20), are provided in the bars.

12. A device for anchoring a filter (50) and a catheter (40), comprising:

an adhesive bandage (10),

a securing element (20) for anchoring the catheter (40), the securing element having a plane; and

a carrier element (30) for anchoring the filter (50),

wherein the carrier element and the securing element are located in different planes;

wherein either the securing element (20) or the carrier element (30) is applied to the adhesive bandage (10),

wherein the securing element (20) includes a first coupling element that interconnects with a second coupling element provided on the carrier element (30), and

wherein the securing element (20) includes bars (22), wherein each of said bars (22) extends along a longitudinal axis, wherein openings (24), each having an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bar and substantially parallel to the plane of the securing element (20), are provided in the bars.
