PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a button type in-vitro fixing instrument which prevents the formation of a humid environment between the in-vitro fixing instrument and a body surface, and suppress the self-extraction while improving workability for wiping out an area around a fistula.SOLUTION: The in-vitro fixing instrument A includes: a body part 10 which is configured to be almost hemispherical to have a top part 12 at end thereon and at least three supporting parts 20 which are attached to the body part 10 to protruded to the end from the top part 12 of the body part 10. When the fistula catheter is attached to a fistula, the supporting parts 20 form a space between the body part 10 and the body surface.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】体外固定具と体表との間に湿潤環境を形成せず、また瘻孔周辺の拭き取り作業性の向上を図りつつ、自己抜去の抑制をも図るようにしたボタン型体外固定具を提供する。【解決手段】体外固定具Aは、先端側に頂部12を有する略半球形状に構成された本体部10と、本体部10の頂部12よりも先端側に突出するように本体部10に取り付けられた少なくとも3本の支持部20と、を備え、瘻孔カテーテルを瘻孔に取り付けたとき、支持部20によって本体部10と体表との間に空間を形成する。【選択図】図1
