Provided is a venous catheter having an anchoring system and access valve for attachment to intravenous lumen tubing. The anchor includes a sloping base plate that is attached to the skin of a user for providing stability and immobility to the tubing. The sloping base plate elevates the tubing away from the skin in order to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections. The plate can include an extension and cover for securing the tubing into position, and a shelf that allows the plate to extend beyond the extension to prevent skin contact with the tubing. The access valve is a T-shaped adapter for connecting the tubing to a dialysis machine tubing, and includes a flushing branch that eliminates the need to disconnect the tubing from the dialysis machine when flushing the dialysis vascular access. The access valve can be attached below the extension, snapped into the extension, or molded into the extension. |
