Description
' ~
ll~V8Z7 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The placement and retention of a body fluid drain in and on a patient's body is a continuing medical problem. Various devices have been provided to retain and secure a drain as it emerges from a surgically provided or natural body cavity that acts as a drainage site in a patient's body, but many surgeons find these devices unsatisfactory. Hence, various expedients are employed, such as, simply taping the drain to the body surface where it emerges.
Problems with drains include their tendency to pull out of the drainage site because, for example, of movement of the patient. Additionally, drains may become kinked or pinched and, therefore, blocked, due to such movement, particularly if the patient rolls over in bed and lies on the drain. Furthermore, the drain is apt to pop out of the drainage site if suction is employed. These problems inherent in the use of any drainage tube are aggravated by the use o. the new silicone-type tubes, which are softer and smoother than more conventional plastic drain tubes.
It is desirable to be able to secure a body fluid drain to the patient so that the drain may first emerge from the body cavity relatively perpendicularly to the body surface, if necessary, and then be curved over into an aspect parallel with the body surface.
This minimizes patient discomfort, allows freedom of movement, prevents the drain from being pinched or kinked and blocked, and, at the same time, aids in securely retaining the drain at the drainage site.
Because drains may have various cross-sections, for 11~C)8Z~
example, round or flat, retention devices should accommodate various shapes. Finally, a retention device should perform its functions efficiently and be foolproof and inexpensive.
Some existing retention devices require threading the drain through the device before placing the drain in the drainage site. However, a doctor should be able to freely place a drain in the drainage site and position it on the body without the initial encumbrance of a retention device on the drain. Also, it is desirable that the retention device used be able to be attached to the drain without threading the drain from an end through the device.
1~4V82~
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A retention clip satisfying these require-ments has now been developed. The retention clip has an upper portion that contains a longitudinal retention slot which allows a drain that has been placed in the body to be inserted sideways into the clip. The top and bottom walls of the slot may be flat, although not necessarily parallel. Preferably, at least the outer end of the upper portion and its retention slot are substantially parallel to the base portion, and, preferably, the upper portion and its slot are arcuately formed.
This prevents crimping of the drain, which may be exiting the body perpendicularly, and allows the drain to lie against and be taped to the body surface close to the point at which the drain emerges from the body.
The upper portion at its inner end is attached to a body-abutting base portion, which is preferably flexible and resilient so as to conform readily to the body surface at the drainage site. The clip may be secured in place by placing adhesive tape over the base portion and onto the adjacent body surface. In some cases it may be desirable to secure the base by sutures through it into the body tissue. The clip may be made inexpensively as an integrally molded item (for example, by injection molding) of a se~i-resilient material, such as, polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
.
The upper portion of the new retention clip should be rigid enough so that if the patient lies on the clip, the drain is not kinked or crushed. The base of the clip should be deformable enough so that it will readily conform to the pa~ient's body, and if the clip is to be sutured to the patient, the base should be sufficiently penetrable. If the clip is to be adhesively secured (e.g., taped) to the patient, the base of the clip preferably should be thin. The two portions of the clip (upper and base) may be made separately and of different materials and then joined, or the clip may be made of a single material at one time, as by injection molding. The material, preferably, should have sufficient tack to aid in holding the drain within the slot. A
semi-resilient material, for example, polyvinyl chloride, is preferred.
One form of the retention clip is shown at 1 in Figs. 1 through 5. The clip includes upper drain retention portion 2 and body-abutting base portion 4.
Upper portion 2 has slot 6 extending longitudinally from inner end 8 of upper portion 2 to outer end 10 of upper portion 2.
Interior 12 of slot 6 is arranged to receive and hold flat drain 14. (The internal cross-section of the upper portion of the clip may be varied to accom-modate round drains or drains of other cross-sections.) Usually, the drain is first positioned in body cavity 16 at drainage site 18 and then inserted sideways into slot 6;
however, the clip may be placed on the drain before the drain is positioned in the body.
.
' ' :
114;V827 Base 4 is secured to body surface 20 of the patient at drainage site 18 by adhesive tape 22, and the clip will retain drain 14 substantially in the desired, predetermined position. Alternatively, sutures may be used instead of tape because they are more secure.
The end of slot 6 at inner end 8 of upper portion 2 has an enlargement forming recess 24 in base 4 to prevent pinching and inadvertent closure of drain 14. Such pinching might occur because of sideways movement of the clip caused, for example, by the patient rolling on it or moving about Base 4 has upper part 4a, which provides the enlargement and recess 24, and lower flat portions 4b, which lie on body surface 20.
As best seen in Fig. 1, upper portion 2, including slot 6, extends arcuately away from base 4, and the segment of upper portion 2 nearest outer end 10 is substantially parallel to base flange 4 so that ~: :
drain 14 exits the clip substantially parallel and close to body surface 20. Thus, the clip turns'drain 14 from a direction extending substantially perpendicular to outer surface 20 to a direction substantially parallel to outer surface 20. This allows the drain to be - secured to the body close to where it exits the body to prevent movement of the drain~and provide for patient comfort.
The inner surface of slot 6 is proportioned to fit snugly against drain 14 so as to retain drain 14 firmly in a relatively longitudinal direction after the clip is slid onto the drain. Internal ribs (not shown) along the inner surface of slot 6 may also be provided `, . ; ~
.
114~827 to aid in holding the drain firmly. Additional tape 26 or a metal clip or sutures may also be used to secure the drain to the clip. (Sutures have the advantage of allowing the surgeon to adjust the compression on the drain because of the resiliency of the clip.) As noted above, if the upper portion is of a material having sufficient tack, this will aid in retaining the drain within the clip. PVC is such a material.
Figs. 6 to 10 show preferred retention clip 101, essentially in proportion. It comprises upper portion 102 and body abutting base portion 104 having internal arcuately formed slot 106. Base 104 substantially surrounds inner end 110 of upper portion 102 and has inwardly extending opening 112 extending to slot 106 to allow a drain (not shown) to be inserted sideways through opening 112 and into slot 106. Recess 124 ,_ prevents the drain from being pinched at the drainage site. A typical clip 101 has a base 104 diameter of 1.5 inches.
Variations in and modifications to the inven-tion will be apparent to one skilled in the art. The claims are intended to cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
