A catheter retaining clip ( 100 ) including first and second generally straight body portions ( 104,106 ), each of which extends along a longitudinal axis parallel to the other and includes a retention section. The generally straight body portions are connected by an extension piece ( 116 or 240 ) that extends generally from one generally straight body portion to the other generally straight body portion. The extension piece ( 116 ) may extend around a 180° curve that defines the curve of the catheter to be inserted into the clip, and a U-shaped channel ( 120 ) extends through the first and second generally straight body portions and the extension piece; the clip is installed onto a catheter ( 50 ) so that the catheter lies in the U-shaped channel and is retained therein by two or three retention sections or locking clasps ( 130 ). The present invention also provides methods of installing a catheter within the clip and methods of removing a catheter from within the clip.
