Abstract
A catheter restraint comprises an adhesive backing which is applied to the patient's skin at a location adjacent the catheter entry point. At least three adhesive strips emanate from the non-adhesive surface of the backing along a straight line allow attachment of both the catheter and catheter tubing to the backing. At least one additional adhesive strip is provided spaced-apart from the line so that the catheter tubing may be looped backward and secured to the backing to help prevent the catheter from being dislodged by pulling on the catheter tubing. The catheter restraint allows the catheter to remain in place while the catheter tubing is changed.
