ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for securing a relatively small diameter wire or tube, and in particular, a small diameter guide wire and an angioplasty catheter that are inserted into a patient during an angioplasty or similar operation. The apparatus has a flexible member comprising a base portion, first and second abutting flexible portions attached to the base portion, and an opening having a diameter suitable for loosely securing the wire and catheter formed at an interface between the abutting flexible portions. An adhesive layer, typically having a backing layer, is disposed on the bottom of the flexible member. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus may be formed such that the first and second flexible portions extend outward in lateral directions away from the top of the opening. First and second base portions are connected to an external wall of the opening by flanges. The respective flexible portions and base portions have transverse ribs to provide added strength. The adhesive and backing layers are disposed on the bottom of both base portions.
