ABSTRACT:
A method of firmly securing a catheter body to a surface portion of human skin, without causing the catheter body to be bent or reducing the diameter of the inner passage of the catheter body. This method employs a catheter-securing member which comprises a cylindrical body for allowing the catheter body to be slidably inserted therein, and a slit is provided along the axial direction of the cylindrical body. In this method a ligature is first pierced through a surface portion of human skin and tied over the surface of human skin, leaving a pair of free end portions extending out of the skin, and then the cylindrical body is secured with the free end portions of the ligature by winding the ligature around the cylindrical body and fastening them.
