CA 2380921

A catheter assembly (10) is provided that has an adhesive (12) on an undersurface (14) of the hub (16) thereof, which is revealed following catheter insertion so that the catheter hub (16) can be secured to the skin (30) while maintaining universal precautions. A protective covering (20) is applied over the adhesive material (12) to preclude adhesion of the catheter hub (16) to the medical practitioner's gloves or premature adhesion to the patient's skin (30). Once the catheter (18) has been properly positioned, the protective covering (20) is removed by gripping a pull tab (22), which projects proximally, away form the inserted catheter tip and beyond the catheter hub (16). Pulling the tab (22) everts the protective cover (20) by folding the cover (20) back over itself to gradually reveal the adhesive surface (12) to the skin. The catheter hub (16) is pressed firmly to the skin (30) in order to create an effective adherence.

L'invention concerne un ensemble (10) cathéter pourvu, sur une surface inférieure (14) de l'embout de cathéter, d'un adhésif (12) qui s'applique après l'insertion du cathéter de manière à fixer l'embout (16) de cathéter à la peau (30) du patient, dans le respect des précautions universelles. Un revêtement (20) protecteur est appliqué sur la matière adhésive (12) pour empêcher que l'embout (16) de cathéter colle aux gants du praticien, ou qu'il colle prématurément à la peau du patient (30). Après positionnement approprié du cathéter (18), on enlève le revêtement (20) protecteur en tirant une languette (22) s'étendant de manière proximale, dans le sens opposé à la pointe de cathéter insérée et au-delà de l'embout (16) de cathéter. En tirant la languette (22), on retourne le revêtement (20) protecteur en repliant celui-ci (20) sur lui-même de façon exposer progressivement la surface adhésive (12) à la peau. On presse fermement l'embout (16) de cathéter contre la peau (30) afin de produire une adhérence efficace.
