A medical conduit holder for releasably securing and reattaching a medical conduit, for example, a Foley catheter, to the limb of a patient. The holder includes a non-stretchable stabilizing member having a looped fabric surface, and attached to a stretchable primary strap to form an enclosed nonstretchable area of the primary strap. The primary strap is configured for attachment to the limb of the patient. The holder further includes a secondary strap attached to both the platform and the primary strap, preferably at the center of the secondary strap. The secondary strap has a first portion with a window, and an engagement portion dimensioned to loop around the conduit and fit through the window. In use, the engagement portion is looped over the medical conduit and through the window, such that the hooked surface of the engagement portion contacts the looped surface of the stabilizing member in order to secure the medical conduit. The first portion is then likewise looped over the medical conduit, such that the hooked surface of the first portion contacts the looped fabric surface of the platform. The stabilizing member resists buckling in order to retain the medical conduit in place, with little movement of the conduit relative to the primary strap.
