ABSTRACT:
A medical conduit holder for securing medical conduits to the skin of a patient is made of two major portions. The first portion is a base plate or patch for adhesively securing to the skin. The second portion is a strap which wraps back through a slot in the strap to fully encircle the conduit or group of conduits. Pressure sensitive VELCRO type attachment surfaces are present on the upper surface of the base plate and the lower surface of the strap. The externally exposed parts of both the base patch and the strap are smooth so as not to snag on surrounding materials. The surface of the strap which contacts the conduit is made of or coated with a high friction material to prevent axial slipping of the encircled conduit. Typical conduits which may be conveniently held in place with this invention include tubes, lumens, catheters, electrical wiring, and optical fibers. The conduits may easily be oriented in any direction and may be removed or replaced without the necessity of removing the adhesive from the patient.
