ABSTRACT:
A device for retaining a catheter in place at its point of entry into a patient's body. The device includes a resilient, adhesive barrier pad having an opening intended to be aligned with the fenestration in the body wall, the pad also having an entry slit leading to that opening, and a one-piece molded plastic support structure that includes a base secured to the pad, two (or more) flexible support arms projecting upwardly from the base at opposite sides of the pad opening, and a pair of elongated clamping bars at the upper ends of the support arms. In use of the device, a catheter is guided laterally through the entry slit to the opening of the barrier pad, the resilient pad is then adhesively secured to the patient with the edges of the pad defining the slit urged tightly together, and the clamping bars are latched together with the catheter clamped securely therebetween. The method of forming such a catheter retention device is also disclosed.
