ABSTRACT:
A device for securing a generally tubular member of a medical appliance to a support surface. In one embodiment, the device comprises an anchoring patch, the anchoring patch including a first segment and a second segment and having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is coated with an adhesive for attaching the anchoring patch to the support surface. A pair of flexible retaining tabs extend from and interconnect the inner edges of the first and second segment, the flexible retaining tabs being of sufficient length to helically wrap around the circumference of the generally tubular member and contact the top surface of the anchoring patch. First fasteners are secured to the free ends of the flexible retaining tabs and a pair of complementary fasteners are spaced outwardly relative to the tabs and are secured to the top surface of said anchoring patch. A generally tubular member may be retained in the device either by helically wrapping the flexible retaining tabs around the circumference of the generally tubular member and then coupling together the fasteners or by positioning the generally tubular member between the flexible tabs and the complementary fasteners and looping the retaining tabs over the generally tubular member and then coupling together the fasteners.
