ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device for securing a catheter or other tubing to a patient by means of suturing. The device comprises an adhesive backed strip having a first portion and a second portion defined by a fold line centered between the first and second portion along a transverse axis of the strip. Preferably, each portion has two holes formed therein with a channel provided between the holes along an axis parallel to the fold line. Thus, when the strip is folded along the fold line over a catheter or tubing, the channel of the first portion overlies the channel of the second portion forming a single channel within which the catheter or tubing is positioned, and the holes of the first portion overlie the holes of the second portion providing a hole on each side of the catheter or tubing to serve as a suture site.
