Adhesive support devices and methods of making and using them

This invention describes an adhesive device designed to hold a catheter securely to a patient's body. It's made by stamping a single, rigid sheet of material into a complex three-dimensional shape, which then has an adhesive applied to it. The device includes features like an open channel with a narrower section to prevent the catheter from sliding.

Why it matters: Advancements in precision polymer forming and cold-pressing techniques since 2021 could make manufacturing these complex, rigid 3D shapes from a single sheet more efficient and cost-effective.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: ModerateCustom stamping dies, rigid sheet material, adhesive.
