ABSTRACT:
A personal catheter leg strap (10) for the securement of any one of a plurality of differently sized catheter tubes (32) includes a first section (12) of a gauze type material and a second section (14) of elastic type material joined together at a junction (16) for wrapping about a limb. A Velcro-type strip (30) attaches the two free ends of the first and second portions together. A catheter tube securing strap (22) is attached at one end thereof to the junction (16) and has two portions (24) and (26), of which the portion (26) is narrower throughout its length. An orifice (28) is disposed in the broad portion (24) and is dimensioned such that the entire length of the narrow portion (26) is insertable therein. The securing strap (22) has a free end thereof wrapped around a catheter tube (32) one revolution and inserted through the orifice (28). Within the one revolution, protruding members (29) protrude inwardly into the exterior surface ( 36) of tube (32), firmly securing it to the strap (22). The strap (22) is wrapped an additional approximately one-half revolution about the catheter tube (32) and is attached at any of an infinate number of locations on the surface (20) with the Velcro-type surface of the securing strap (22).
