A stabilizing fitting for securely holding an intravenous catheter to a patient's skin at a venipuncture site comprises a laminar base member (10) with an adhesive lower surface (22) and a catheter hub retaining cradle (12) on its upper surface. After insertion of the catheter into a vein and connection to an infusion tube, the catheter hub (36) is pressed into the cradle (12) which locates the hub laterally and longitudinally and the fitting is dabbed onto the patient's skin. Stabilization is then achieved by affixing criss-cross tapes (42) over the assembly. |
