ABSTRACT:
A cannula holder is provided to maintain a cannula in a fixed position on body tissue while also allowing the cannula to be reoriented with respect to an incision. The cannula holder comprises a pad having a large surface area with integral finger shaped projections extending from the pad. The fingers form a V shaped projection from the pad. There are concave regions formed on the outer circumference of the pad adjacent to the fingers for allowing the fingers to bend around the outer surface of a cannula. A means for securing the cannula holder to a patient's skin is provided by an adhesive layer that is attached to the pad. This adhesive layer is also on the fingers so that the fingers may be adhesively attached to the cannula. A removable paper layer is provided to cover the adhesive layer to prevent the adhesive layer from drying or accidently securing to objects.
