Integrated vascular delivery system
First Claim
1. An integrated vascular delivery system adapted to be placed on a patient, comprising:
- a frame including;
a catheter hub providing a first anchoring point on the patient, wherein the catheter hub is configured to receive a catheter insertable in a patient to transfer a fluid at an insertion site;
a stabilization hub coupled to the catheter hub and providing a second anchoring point on the patient;
wherein the frame operates in a folded configuration wherein the catheter hub is configured to reversibly couple to the stabilization hub, and an unfolded configuration wherein the first and second anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter;
a fluidic channel extending between the catheter hub and the stabilization hub, that fluidically communicates with the catheter; and
a needle shield, coupled to at least one of the catheter hub and stabilization hub, that allows a needle to penetrate the catheter, through the needle shield, in an inactive configuration and that covers a distal end of the needle in an active configuration, in withdrawing of the needle from the catheter, wherein the needle is configured to facilitate insertion of the catheter into the patient.

Abstract
An integrated vascular delivery system and method of use, the system including: a frame having a catheter hub that provides a first anchoring point on the patient and receives a catheter insertable in the patient to transfer fluid at an insertion site, a stabilization hub that provides a second anchoring point on the patient, at least one lateral member extending between the catheter and stabilization hubs, and a fluidic channel. The frame operates in a folded configuration in which the hubs are coupleable and an unfolded configuration in which the anchoring points are distributed around the insertion site to anchor the frame to the patient, thereby stabilizing the catheter. In some embodiments, the system further includes a septum that helps prevent fluid leakage from the catheter hub, or a needle shield that covers the distal end of a needle used during catheter insertion.
