Abstract

A medical apparatus for securing a medical device. The medical apparatus can include a garment, the garment having a body portion with an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface. The body portion can have an upper panel, and a lower panel juxtaposed with the upper panel to define an access opening. The access opening provides access from the outward facing surface to the inward facing surface between the upper panel and the lower panel. A low profile anchor secured on the outward facing surface can be configured for releasable securement of a portion of the medical device. An outer panel affixed to and selectively detachable from the body portion can span at least a portion of the access opening and define a selectively closesable pocket configured to retain a portion of the medical device. The garment can have a sleeve affixed to the body portion at an arm opening, the sleeve including a first sleeve portion and a second sleeve portion. The first sleeve portion and the second sleeve portion define an opening through which a catheter tube extending through the arm opening can be routed and secured.
