Abstract

The present disclosure provides an integrated medical device that includes a stiffening stylet for portions of a catheter along with attachment features for improved functionality and packaging of the catheter system.

Claims (34)

1. A catheter clip for securing a catheter, comprising:

a first portion comprising first and second securement members;

a second portion comprising a third securement member; and

an elongate stiffening stylet for the catheter attached to and extending from the first portion;

wherein the second securement member includes an arm extending above an outer surface of the first portion;

wherein the second securement member is configured to secure one or more loops of the elongate stiffening stylet.

2. The catheter clip of claim 1 , wherein the first securement member is dimensioned to accept a handle of the catheter.

3. The catheter clip of claim 1 , wherein the third securement member is dimensioned to accept a protective packaging tube.

4. The catheter clip of claim 1 , wherein the first securement member is dimensioned to accept a handle of the catheter and the third securement member is dimensioned to accept a protective packaging tube, wherein a diameter of the protective packaging tube is greater than a diameter of the handle of the catheter.

5. The catheter clip of claim 1 , wherein an end of the arm defines an opening having a width.

6. A medical device clip, comprising:

a first portion comprising first and second securement members;

a second portion comprising a third securement member; and

an elongate member attached to and extending from the first portion;

wherein the first securement member is configured to form an interference fit with a handle of a medical device, the second securement member includes an arm extending above an outer surface of the first portion and is configured to secure one or more loops of the elongate member, and the third securement member is configured to form an interference fit with a protective packaging tube of the medical device.

7. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein the first and second securement members are open-faced.

8. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein the first securement member and third securement member open approximately 90 degrees relative to each other.

9. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein the first securement member defines an opening and a curved inner wall.

10. The medical device clip of claim 9 , wherein the opening includes a first width and the curved inner wall includes a first diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the first width.

11. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein the third securement member defines an opening and a curved inner wall.

12. The medical device clip of claim 11 , wherein the opening of the third securement member includes a second width and the curved inner wall of the third securement member includes a second diameter, wherein the second diameter is greater than the second width.

13. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein a diameter of the protective packaging tube is greater than a diameter of the handle of the medical device.

14. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein an inner surface of the arm includes a recessed portion configured to secure one or more loops of the elongate member between the inner and outer surfaces.

15. The medical device clip of claim 6 , wherein the first and second securement members are on opposite sides of the first portion.

16. A catheter clip for securing a catheter, comprising:

a first portion comprising first and second securement members;

a second portion comprising a third securement member; and

an elongate stiffening stylet for the catheter attached to and extending from the first portion;

wherein the second securement member includes an arm extending above an outer surface of the first portion;

wherein an inner surface of the arm includes a recessed portion configured to secure at least a portion of the elongate stiffening stylet between the inner and outer surfaces.

17. The catheter clip of claim 16 , wherein the first securement member is dimensioned to accept a handle of the catheter.

18. The catheter clip of claim 16 , wherein the first and second securement members are open-faced.

19. The catheter clip of claim 16 , wherein the first securement member and third securement member open approximately 90 degrees relative to each other.

20. The catheter clip of claim 16 , wherein the first securement member defines an opening and a curved inner wall.
