Abstract
A stabilizing fitting useful for securing a catheter hub or a syringe body adjacent to a venipuncture site is provided. The stabilizing fitting, of unitary pliable plastic construction, includes an elongated base having support members at each end. A VELCRO fastener is secured to an upper surface of each support member. A retaining strap removably attachable to the VELCRO fastener may be looped about the patient's arm, for example, to secure the stabilizing fitting in place without the use of skin-contacting adhesives. A catheter hub/syringe body retainer is centrally disposed between the support members and surrounded by a catheter hub/syringe body wing housing. A plurality of medical tube retaining slots are provided through each support member in alignment with the catheter hub/syringe body retainer. Alower surface of the base includes recesses for the retainer, the wing housing and the medical tube retaining slots.
