| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a self-adhering catheter tube assembly including an elongated tubular member having a needle extending from one of two ends and an adhesive strip on the exterior surface thereof. An L-shaped tongue protrudes from the exterior surface of the tubular member for selectively engaging an L-shaped opening on a sleeve member. The transparent sleeve member surrounds the exterior of the tubular member and selectively covers the adhesive strip by coupling the L-shaped opening with the L-shaped tongue. Accordingly, the sleeve may be rotated and slid axially with respect to the tubular member to expose the adhesive strip. A removable protective layer covers the adhesive strip allowing the tubular member to be quickly and easily secured to a patient's skin. When the tubular member is removed from a patient, the sleeve may be slid back over the adhesive strip and locked into place by coupling the L-shaped tongue with the opening to prevent the tubular member from inadvertently adhering to a person's fingers, clothing or other surrounding objects.
