ABSTRACT:
An anchoring system for a central line catheter or other similar catheter or fluid lines provides convenient installation and release with a minimum of procedures and no pain or discomfort to the patient. The anchoring system includes a self-adhesive anchoring pad for secure mounting on the patient and an associated retainer. The retainer includes slotted openings to receive downwardly extending posts formed on the underside of lateral wings of a box clamp. The ends of the posts can be easily inserted into a large diameter central openings of the retainer holes and then slid horizontally to allow frictional or snap fit engagement and retention between the necks of the posts and the lateral slots or holes formed in the retainer. In this position, the ends of the posts are captured with a hollow within the retainer and beneath the lateral slots, and the box clamp and retainer thus are releasably locked together. The opposite sequence is followed for removal of the box clamp and catheter combination. A soft, pliable wing clamp also can be used in connection with the box clamp to retain the catheter and/or associated tubing within the box clamp.
