Integrated vascular delivery system
First Claim
1. An integrated vascular delivery system comprising:
- a first hub configured to receive a catheter, the first hub comprising;
a proximal region; and
a fluidic channel configured to communicate with the catheter at the proximal region of the first hub and pass through the first hub at an angle such that the fluidic channel extends from a center of the first hub to an outer peripheral portion of the proximal region of the first hub;
a second hub spaced apart from the first hub and configured to stabilize the catheter, the second hub comprising a distal side; and
a fluid supply adapter that defines a flow path extending from the proximal region of the first hub to the distal region of the second hub.

Abstract
An integrated vascular delivery system having a frame configured to receive a catheter insertable in a patient to deliver fluid at an insertion site. The frame includes a first hub, a second hub, and a pair of flexible lateral members extending between the hubs and including a tubular lateral member. The system also includes a fluidic channel that fluidically communicates with the catheter, wherein the fluidic channel passes through the tubular lateral member and at least one of the hubs, and includes a fixed turnabout portion in which fluid flows in a direction different from that within the catheter. The first and second hubs provide anchoring points on the patient distributed around the insertion site and on opposite ends of the catheter, thereby anchoring the frame to the patient and stabilizing the catheter. A method is provided for using an integrated vascular delivery system.

8. An integrated vascular delivery system comprising:
-
a first hub configured to provide a first anchoring point; a second hub configured to provide a second anchoring point, wherein the first and second anchoring points are positioned on opposite sides of an insertion site; a flexible tube extending between the first hub and the second hub and extending through the second hub at an angle such that the flexible tube extends from an outer peripheral portion of a distal side of the second hub to a center of a proximal side of the second hub; and a septum configured to receive a needle, wherein the flexible tube is configured to project from the septum towards the insertion site. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of providing an integrated vascular delivery system comprising:
providing a frame comprising; a plurality of hubs including; a first hub; and a second hub, wherein the plurality of hubs allow the frame to be secured to a patient, and wherein the first hub is configured to be positioned at an insertion site and receive a catheter; a flexible tube extending between the first hub and the second hub configured to allow the second hub to fold over the first hub such that the second hub is positioned beyond a distal side of the first hub; and a fluidic channel configured to fluidically communicate with the catheter at a proximal side of the first hub and pass through the first hub at an angle such that the fluidic channel extends from a center of the first hub to an outer peripheral portion of the proximal side of the first hub. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
