ABSTRACT:
A coupling and attachment assembly for catheters and the like includes two pairs of side body portions with adhesive coatings on the bottom surfaces and a coupling permanently attached to a central portion of the attachment member. The coupling has a coupling portion that easily connects to a complementary coupling portion on the inlet end of a catheter so the coupling can be connected to the catheter and the attachment member secured to the patient in a fast and efficient manner. An aseptic flap on the member covers the puncture after the catheter has been inserted. For some applications an intravenous line is connected to the inlet end of the coupling and for another there is a closure cap. An auxiliary strip is connected to the flow line to further secure the assembly to the patient.
