Abstract
A catheter anchoring assembly includes a winged section which is easily anchored to a patient to securely attach the assembly to that patient. The winged section includes a tubular body attachable to a catheter hub and through which the catheter extends. The winged section extends beyond a stem on the catheter hub and is larger than the outer diameter of the catheter tube whereby kinking of that catheter tube is prevented. The tubular body can be tilted with respect to the wing of the winged section.
