ABSTRACT:
A device for use in securing an intravenous tube to a catheter comprises a tape strip and a releasable cover strip. The tape strip has, along one side, a central region provided with a layer of adhesive and two end regions on opposite sides of the central region, the end regions being adhesive free. The cover strip is attached to the layer of adhesive for temporarily protecting the layer of adhesive and preventing premature sticking thereof to a surface. In securing an intravenous tube to a catheter, the intravenous tube is first connected to the catheter to form a junction therebetween, and the tape strip is wrapped around both the intravenous tube and the catheter at the junction so that the tape strip is bonded to both the intravenous tube and the catheter via the layer of adhesive and so that the end regions of the tape strip are juxtaposed to one another.
