Fixing device for nasogastric catheter and catheter assembly. A fixing device (13) for a nasogastric catheter (1l) comprises a baseplate (21) with an aperture (26) therethrough and an integral bridge (22) having two holes (23, 24) in the span thereof. A slot (25) connects the aperture (26) and holes (23, 24) to the exterior of the device. The outer hole (23) is sized to locate a nasogastric catheter loosely whilst the inner hole (24) is sized to grip a catheter against movement therethrough; the slot permits the catheter to be snapped into either of the holes (23, 24). A splittable catheter sheath (12) passes through the aperture (26) and the free ends thereof emerge through respective portals of the bridge (22). |
