ABSTRACT:
An anchor band is positionable about the limb or head of a patient undergoing an intravenous procedure. Hospital personnel may continue to use their standard practices of maintaining intravenous angiocatheter's and tubing in position by use of adhesive tape. The anchor band, however, acts as a buffer between the adhesive tape and the patients skin. Thereafter, normal hospital procedures which require the removal, reapplication, and, again, removal of adhesive tape, because of adjustments and accommodations to the intravenous angiocatheter and tubing, will cause no irritation or damage to the patient's skin since the adhesive will be applied and removed, and reapplied to the anchor band rather than directly to the person's skin. Non-slip pads are used to avoid rotation or slippage and are spaced on the underside of the band such that the portion of the band adjacent the I.V. angiocatheter is pulled into a flush relationship with the patients skin to prevent deviation or exertion of upward forces on the exposed end of the angiocatheter.
