Abstract

See full text

An epidural catheter retainer has an integral base and hinged lid. The base is attached to the skin and has a side opening through which the catheter can be inserted sideways into the retainer. A channel extends laterally across the base and has protrusions to grip the catheter. When the lid is closed, it covers the side opening and is held down by a catch. The underside of the lid has teeth or the like to grip the upper side of the catheter so that the retainer isolates that part of the catheter in the body from force exerted on its other end.
