ABSTRACT:
A catheter assembly is provided to facilitate taping of the emplaced catheter onto the patient's body. The assembly comprises a catheter extending distally from a catheter hub. The hub has a hub axis co-axially aligned with the catheter and provided with a pair of opposed wings integral with the hub. Each of the wings having a proximal edge and a distal edge are such that a portion of at least one of these edges forms an acute angle with the axis of the hub of from about 35.degree. to about 55.degree. whereby the taping operation of the wings to the patient's body may be facilitated.
