ABSTRACT:
A belt for stabilizing an implanted peritoneal dialysis catheter exiting from the abdomen of a user and having a valve at one end. The belt includes a body of elasticized fabric designed to encircle the patient, two fasteners with hook and pile features, and a receptacle. In addition, a relatively small adhesive-backed member, having adhesive on its inner surface and having a pile member on its outer surface, surrounds a portion of the catheter tubing at a point near where the tubing exits the user. One of the two fasteners secures and stabilizes the tubing to the belt body by pressing against the pile outer surface of the adhesive-backed member and subsequently is secured to itself. The second fastener is used to further secure the tubing against the belt body at a distance from the one fastener. The receptacle, or envelope, integral to the belt body, is used to securely hold the valve end of the catheter against the belt body. The method of using the present invention is also described.
