ABSTRACT:
A fixated catheter including a tube and a fixating portion. The fixating portion includes a fixating strip having a plurality of outwardly protruding barbs. The fixating strip is spirally wound about a portion of the tube. The fixated catheter can be inserted into the body to place the fixated portion adjacent to body tissue so that the barbs engage the body tissue to minimize migration of the fixated catheter during chronic use.
