Abstract
A catheter support comprising an anchoring pad and a flexible strap, a portion of which is attached thereto, is disclosed. One side of the anchoring pad carries an adhesive compatible for use with human skin. One side of the strap carries a fastener material. With the pad in place, a catheter is laid against the pad, and the free end of the strap is folded across the catheter. The fastener material of the free end is pressed against the fastener material attached to the pad to hold the catheter in place. Alternatively, the side of the pad opposite the side with the adhesive carries fastener material, and the flexible strap is separate therefrom. A channel is present through the fastener material on either the pad, flexible strap or both to receive the catheter.
