ABSTRACT:
A device for securing a catheter or like instrument to a patient comprises a first portion having an adhesive surface for securing that portion to the skin of a patient. A second portion is hingedly connected to the first portion and is adapted to fold thereover. The second portion has an adhesive surface to provide securement to the first portion when folded thereover. A slot and a hole are preferably associated with the first and second portions, respectively, for operably positioning the second portion around a catheter, which has been previously connected to the patient, so that the catheter extends through the plane formed by the second portion. This arrangement thereby facilitates the securement of the catheter in place on the patient.
A method of securing a previously connected catheter or like instrument to a patient includes securing a device substantially as described above to a patient.
