A securement device for a vascular access device, such as a catheter, includes a flexible base having a first side adapted for attachment to the patient and a second side. A support is coupled to the second side of the base and includes a surface that defines a recess configured to receive the vascular access device. The surface includes adhesive for securing the vascular access device within the recess and is oriented relative to the base for supporting an axis of the vascular access device at an angle relative to the patient. After the vascular access device has been secured in the recess by the adhesive, an occlusive dressing may be applied to cover the vascular access site.
