An inexpensive catheter restraint is formed from a thin, flexible, adhesively-backed plastic sheet having a pair of short, parallel slits forming a centrally disposed bridge anchoring a catheter-receiving ring or yoke therein. The ring restrains transverse catheter motion but accommodates limited longitudinal motion.
