A protective stabilizing sleeve for catheters, such as peripheral intravenous central catheters, is provided for protecting the external portion of the catheter line. A protective device for use with peripheral intravenous catheters, the device comprising a first sleeve including a proximal open end, an opposite distal open end, and a substantially non-compressive tube of sleeve material disposed therebetween. The sleeve is preferably elastic, but remains substantially non compressive as the device is radially expanded, such as to fit over the extremity of a subject to cover a peripheral catheter inserted therein.
