ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a system and device for securing one or more intravenous needles or cannulas to a patient in a treatment site such as on an arm, hand or leg. The device includes a semi-rigid but flexible pad that is placed in a location which is opposite of the treatment site, such as on the opposite side of an arm, hand or leg. The pad has straps emanating from it which extend around the patient and while doing so cross each other to trap a needle or cannula stabilizing feature and then continue around the patient and back to the pad. The pad has a first part of a hook and loop fastening system thereon, while the straps have the second part of the hook and loop fastening system thereon so that when engaged they will securely hold the straps in place. The pads may take on different shapes such as rectangular, oval or triangular shape to be able to be placed at different locations on the patient.
