ABSTRACT:
A securement device is provided for securing a catheter to a patient's skin. An elongated handle member is used to align and apply the device to the patient's skin. A cover dressing is releasably attached to the handle member and has a covering side configured for placement against the patient's skin to cover at least the entry wound created by the catheter. The holder includes a securing member with a first side having an adhesive thereon for securing to the patient's skin adjacent to the point of entry of the catheter through the skin. The securing member includes an opening therethrough to allow a protrusion or portion of the catheter to extend therethrough while the first side of the securing member adheres the catheter to the patient's skin on opposite sides of the opening. The cover dressing is foldable over the securing member along a hinge section between the securing member and the cover dressing. Once the first side of the securing member is pressed over the catheter and against the patient's skin adjacent to the insertion point or wound site, the handle member is used to pull and fold the cover dressing at the hinge section so that the cover dressing folds over the securing member and covers the insertion wound through the patient's skin.
