ABSTRACT:
A suture tab body has inside and outside surfaces and first and second parts with a line therebetween. Openings located about the first part pass through the body from the inside to the outside surface. Adhesion means on a section of the inside surface is juxtaposed to itself when the first and second parts are folded along the line. The openings in the first part are on another section apart from the adhesion means. A reinforcement as a thicker area of the first part has ears for the openings. The ears are adjacent a pair of opposite edges, each of which defines an elongate dimension of the body. And least two ears are disposed near each edge with one ear near each edge and the line. The adhesion means is a double faced foam tape with a releasable covering for protecting an adhesive facing prior to use. A combination of suture tab and catheter is used with a method for attaching the suture tab to the catheter. The method has the suture bab placed against the patient with the adhesive exposed to receive transversely the catheter. Folding the suture tab puts the outside surface of the second part away from the patient and so the inside surface carrying the adhesive is about the catheter and itself.
