ABSTRACT:
A device for protecting a venipuncture site and retaining a catheter and intravenous tubing at said site, without binding said catheter and tubing or occluding the flow therethrough. Easy accessibility to the venipuncture site and retention site is provided by a hinged cover. Much pain and discomfort associated with frequent removal of adhesive tape from a patient's skin, repeated venipuncture and trauma due to irritation caused by inadvertent catheter movement are eliminated or substantially eliminated because the catheter is disposed in a protective environment.
