Abstract
An anchoring device for a catheter or cannula including a retainer section forming a channel extending along a central, longitudinal axis and a longitudinal slot along a top of the channel through which an elongate fluid carrying tube for the catheter or cannula can pass. This section includes one or more stop members projecting into the channel for engaging a radially extending surface of a line coupler for the catheter or a catheter connector. A flexible anchor pad is integrally connected to the retainer section and has top and bottom surfaces. A number of parallel ridges are distributed over the bottom surface of this pad to allow air between the pad and the skin of a patient. Preferably the anchoring device has an interior surface at the front end of the channel which frictionally engages the line coupling for the catheter in order to hold same. There is also disclosed a unique method of securing a catheter or cannula using this anchoring device.
