<p>This invention is an elongate catheter (10) having one or more lumens (24, 26) therein and at least one lumen in flow communication with a hub member (16) including one or more loop members (34, 36) extending laterally from a tubular member (32) thereof such that a securement area (40) is formed by the opening between the body of the tubular member (32) and the loop member which is significantly larger than currently available catheters. The loop members (34, 36) are formed to provide a soft and flexible area (40) for securing the catheter (10) to the body of the patient wherein the securement area (40) is spaced apart from the body of the hub member (32) and the loop members (34, 36) may be easily removed to allow the catheter to be removed from the body of the patient.</p> |
