ABSTRACT:
An adhesive patch for anchoring an intravenous needle to the skin of a patient at the transcutaneous insertion site is disclosed in which a patch of continuous flexible asymmetrically elastic sheet material having one side covered with a layer of biocompatible adhesive is provided substantially shaped as large and small abutting parallel rectangles integrally joined parallel to the easy axis of elasticity and adapted to engage an intravenous needle. The small rectangle is configured such that a portion can disengage from the larger rectangle and fold on itself as a tab and adhesively engage the periphery of the hub of the needle and wherein the larger rectangle has a central shaped cut out facing the small rectangle and is adapted to fold over the tab and adhesively attach to the skin thereby attaching the entire assembly to the skin. A layer of peelable release paper adhering to said adhesive is provided for packaging.
