Abstract:
An external catheter stabilizer device for stabilizing and retaining a catheter tube at a stoma includes a base portion that is attached at a central portion via at least two legs. The base portion is configured to be affixed at a patient so as to generally surround a stoma. The central portion has a passageway therethrough that is configured to receive a tube that passes through the stoma. The central portion may include a disinfecting wiping element for receiving and wiping the tube as it is inserted through the passageway and into the stoma. The central portion may include flexible tabs that deflect to enlarge an effective diameter of the passageway and that are biased radially inward to retain the tube thereat. The device may have pads coupled to the respective legs via an elastomeric connecting element to allow for adjustment of the pads relative to the legs.

Claim (Index 1):
An external catheter stabilizer device for stabilizing and retaining a catheter tube at a stoma, said external catheter stabilizer device comprising:\n a base portion configured to be affixed at a patient at a stoma; a central portion having a passageway therethrough, wherein, with said base portion affixed at the patient at the stoma, said passageway receives a tube that passes through the stoma; wherein said base portion comprises at least two legs extending from said central portion; wherein, with said base portion affixed at the patient at the stoma, said central portion is spaced from the patient and the stoma via said at least two legs; a wiping element disposed at or near said passageway for receiving and wiping the tube as the tube is inserted through the passageway and into the stoma; wherein said wiping element comprises a disinfecting surface that wipes and disinfects the tube as the tube passes through said wiping element; and wherein said wiping element has an inside diameter that is less than an inside diameter of said passageway.
