Abstract
An attachment system for a medical device, wherein the attachment system is compatible with a wide variety of structures, at least in the sense that it may be used to hang the medical device in a level position. Also, a method for attaching a medical device to a wide variety of structures that allows for the medical device to be hung in a level position. The attachment system and method are often used in conjunction with a chest drainage unit as the medical device.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to attachment components, systems, and methods. More particularly, the present invention relates to such components, systems, and methods used in conjunction with medical devices.
- In hospitals and other health care facilities, it is often desirable to position a medical device in close proximity to a patient being monitored by the device. As such, some medical devices have hangers or hooks attached to their exterior housings or casings. Other medical devices have hangers or hooks built directly into their exterior housings or casings. These hangers or hooks are then used to hang the medical device from a horizontal bed rail on the side of the hospital bed that the patient is resting in.
- Currently available hooks and hangers are rigid components that are typically made from hard plastic or metallic components. As such, the hooks and hangers are only compatible with certain hospital beds and/or bed rails. The compatibility of such hooks and hangers with hospital beds and/or bed rails is further limited because currently available hooks and hangers are fixed relative to the exterior housings or casing of the medical devices to which they are attached or built into. In other words, the hooks and hangers cannot be drawn together or spread further apart.
- In view of the above, when a medical device is hung from a bed rail by a hook or hanger that is incompatible with the rail, the medical device will be in a tilted position. In other words, the medical device will not be “level” with respect to either the floor or the bed rail. Since some medical devices only function properly when in a substantially “level” (i.e., vertical) position, such incompatible hooks or hangers render the device inoperable.
- Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide components and/or systems that are compatible with a wide variety of structures (e.g., hospital beds and bed rails) so as to allow for medical devices hung therefrom to remain level. In addition, it would also be desirable to provide methods for attaching a medical device to a variety of structures, all the while keeping the attached medical device level.
- The foregoing needs are met, to a great extent, by the present invention wherein, in a first embodiment thereof, an attachment system is provided. The attachment system according to this first embodiment includes an engaging mechanism configured to engage a structure exterior to the attachment system. The attachment system according to this first embodiment also includes an adjustable connection mechanism connected to the engaging mechanism at a proximate portion thereof and to a medical device at a distal portion thereof.
- In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, a method of attaching a medical device to a structure is provided. The method according to this second embodiment includes the step of adjusting a length of an adjustable connection mechanism connected to a medical device at a distal portion thereof. The method according to this second embodiment also includes the step of engaging a structure with an engaging mechanism connected to a proximate portion of the adjustable connection mechanism.
- In accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention, another attachment system is provided. The attachment system according to this third embodiment includes means for adjusting a length of an adjustable connection mechanism connected to a medical device at a distal portion thereof. The attachment system according to this third embodiment also includes means for engaging a structure with an engaging mechanism connected to a proximate portion of the adjustable connection mechanism.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, certain embodiments of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof herein may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional embodiments of the invention that will be described below and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of embodiments in addition to those described and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein, as well as the abstract, are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
- As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception upon which this disclosure is based may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
