ABSTRACT:
A separable fastening device is disclosed to support a catheter tube to a limb of a patient. The fastener has a first flexible strap member including a first knitted textile material having upstanding from one surface a plurality of multifilamentary loop-like elements and a polyurethane foam substrate secured to the opposite surface. A second section is formed of a flexible tape member having upstanding from one surface a plurality of hook-like elements which matingly engage with the upstanding filamentary loop-like elements of the first section so as to be attachable thereto at the respective end portions to form a complete flexible strap member. The end portion of the first section is generally tapered at the connection to the second section and defines an opening therethrough spaced sufficiently from the tapered end and dimensioned to receive a free end portion of the second section. The length of the second section and the relative positioning of the opening in the first section are such as to permit the tapered end portion to be looped about the catheter tube while the second tape section extends therethrough so as to be matingly engaged with the loop-like elements of the first section to secure the catheter tube therein and to attach the entire device in position about a limb of a patient. The polyurethane material provides a friction surface which grips the tube in a firm, but gentle manner as well as being capable of gripping the human limb to retain the catheter tube in its precise desired position.
