A butterfly anchor for an infusion set is described. The anchor provides a means to rapidly and securely stabilize an intravascular catheter for a patient while preventing the catheter from resting against or puncturing the vein wall subsequent to insertion or during later patient movement. The anchor includes a flexible anchor pad having an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface includes a means for attaching the anchor pad to the backing pad of a butterfly infusion set and to the skin of a patient. The anchor pad includes longitudinal reinforcing means located parallel to the long axis of the catheter and spaced apart from the center line of the anchor pad so as to control the orientation of the catheter in the patient's vein.
