Device for fixation of catheter and filter

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.
