SECUREMENT DEVICE, METHOD FOR USE THEREOF, AND KIT

1 . A securement device for securing a medical article, the securement device comprising:

a single monolithic body comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, the body comprising a main portion defining a cavity extending at least partially from the first major surface towards the second major surface, wherein the cavity is configured to at least partially receive the medical article therein, and wherein the main portion has a first elastic modulus;

a lid configured to be disposed on the first major surface of the body, wherein the lid is further configured to be detachably attached to the body to secure the medical article within the cavity in a closed position of the lid, wherein the lid has a third elastic modulus that is greater than the first elastic modulus by a factor of at least 2; and

an adhesive film disposed on the second major surface of the body, the adhesive film comprising:

an extensible backing comprising at least one gripping region;

a first adhesive layer bonding the backing to the body; and

a second adhesive layer disposed partially on a major surface of the backing opposite to the first adhesive layer, such that the at least one gripping region of the backing is free of the second adhesive layer.

2 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the body further comprises at least one tab extending outwardly from the main portion of the body, wherein the first adhesive layer bonds the at least one gripping region to at least a portion of the at least one tab, and wherein the at least one tab has a second elastic modulus that is less than the first elastic modulus by a factor of at least 10.

3 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the main portion of the body has a maximum elongation of less than about 5%.

4 . The securement device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one tab has a maximum elongation from about 50% to about 1200%.

5 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the backing has a maximum elongation from about 150% to about 1200%.

6 . The securement device of claim 1 , further comprising a plastic liner detachably attached to the second adhesive layer.

7 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive layer comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

8 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the first elastic modulus is from about 100 Megapascals (MPa) to about 400 MPa.

9 - 11 . (canceled)

12 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein a first adhesive strength of the first adhesive layer is greater than a second adhesive strength of the second adhesive layer by a factor of at least 2.

13 . The securement device of claim 12 , wherein the second adhesive strength is less than a cohesive strength of the second adhesive layer, such that the second adhesive layer retains a bond with the backing when the backing is stretched.

14 . The securement device of claim 1 , wherein the main portion further defines at least one channel extending from the cavity to a perimeter of the main portion.

15 - 22 . (canceled)

23 . The securement device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one tab comprises a pair of opposing tabs.

24 . (canceled)

25 . A method for using the securement device of claim 1 , the method comprising:

attaching, via the second adhesive layer, the securement device to skin of a patient;

inserting a medical article into the cavity; and

moving the lid of the securement device to the closed position to secure the medical article within the cavity.

26 . The method of claim 25 , further comprising moving the lid of the securement device in order to access the cavity prior to insertion of the medical article into the cavity.

27 . The method of claim 25 , further comprising removably engaging the lid with the medical article.

28 . The method of claim 25 , further comprising:

disengaging the lid from the body;

moving the lid of the securement device in order to access the cavity; and

removing the medical article from the cavity.

29 . The method of claim 28 , further comprising:

grasping at least one tab of the body and the at least one gripping region of the backing;

stretching the at least one tab and the at least one gripping region, such that the second

adhesive layer debonds from the skin of the patient; and

removing the securement device from the patient.

31 . A kit comprising:

a medical article; and

a securement device for securing the medical article, the securement device comprising:

a single monolithic body comprising a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, the body comprising a main portion defining a cavity extending at least partially from the first major surface towards the second major surface, wherein the cavity is configured to at least partially receive the medical article therein, and wherein the main portion has a first elastic modulus;

a lid configured to be disposed on the first major surface of the body, wherein the lid is further configured to be detachably attached to the body to secure the medical article within the cavity in a closed position of the lid, wherein the lid has a third elastic modulus that is greater than the first elastic modulus by a factor of at least 2; and

an adhesive film disposed on the second major surface of the body, the adhesive film comprising:

an extensible backing comprising at least one gripping region;

a first adhesive layer bonding the backing to the body; and

a second adhesive layer disposed partially on a major surface of the backing opposite to the first adhesive layer, such that the at least one gripping region of the backing is free of the second adhesive layer.

32 . The kit of claim 31 , wherein the body of the securement device further comprises at least one tab extending outwardly from the main portion of the body, wherein the first adhesive layer bonds the at least one gripping region to at least a portion of the at least one tab, and wherein the at least one tab has a second elastic modulus that is less than the first elastic modulus by a factor of at least 10.

33 . The kit of claim 31 , wherein the main portion of the body has a maximum elongation of less than about 5%.

34 . The kit of claim 32 , wherein the at least one tab has a maximum elongation from about 50% to about 1200%.
