When affixed, the central portion and the patient's skin together form a receptacle for securely holding the catheter against movement. The central portion may be a tapered conical sheet and the flaps may have adhesive for ease of attachment. A detent is provided, which may include a hole through the central portion of the sheet for engaging a protrusion from the catheter hub. Flexing of the sheet disengages the detent. A non-adhesive tab on one flap aids in removing the device. | |
